I THINK EVERYONE DESERVES TO DIE IN THEIR OWN HOME, BE IN THEIR COMFORT ZONE AND ENJOY THEIR LIFE & sSURROUNDS

but it appears after losing almost all of my
independence overnight my rapidly growing brain cancer is going to prevent me from that as the cost of the level of care I need is 24 hrs a day and $80,000 a month which of course on a disability pension I can’t afford I never in my wildest dreams would have imagined when I was younger, that from 26 I’d be diagnosed with a terminal illness that turned my life upside down and now at 42 I’ve been told I have months to live I can’t walk and I have a paralysed arm and hand so I can’t even drive my wheelchair for a tiny slice of independence

I’ve now been in hospital for 2 months and it’s been torturous every morning I have to wait for a nurse to take me to the toilet and there have been so many distressing near misses it has traumatised me and from the minute I get up my anxiety is rife
Move been told by the drs I have only months to live


whilst this tumour has made my left arm and hand completely paralysed and left leg and foot unable to walk so I’m wheelchair bound and have absolutey no independence



r if I am graced with the approval to go out for 3 hrs I have to wear a diaper as I don’t have anyone either me trained to get me on the toilet, so I can’t even completely relax when I have the mode very few moments of freedom

THE SADEST PART IS FOR NE TO GET HOME I NEED 24/7 care and it’s $80,000 a month which in a disability pension I’ve got no chance of ever getting close to that number.i also have a cat who hasn’t left my side for the 16 ywmears I’ve been battling this disease and I’ve been terribly struggling without in hospital
i am completely reliant on others to get me from a to b

SANCTUARY WITH familiar surroundings and I dream of dying at home with my cat curled up next to me. She’s literally all I have and throughout battling brain cancer for 15 years I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for ger

this



this Go Fund Me was started 4 years ago when I’d had my 4th brain surgery and couldn’t support myself as I couldn’t work at all and was straight onto chemo afterwards. $60k of the money showing raised has been been most graciously spent on ongoong cancer specialist appts, brain scans, medications, my cancer psychiatrist appts, cost of livinand cost of living expenses & I could not imagine how my life would have been or how I would have survived without the generosity and support of the community. There simply aren’t words that can truly emphasise how grateful I am.

thank you from the bottom of my heart for the 17k we’ve raised to help me this year you have no idea how much this has

im currently in hospital and now have no independents I’m totally reliant on others to get me from a to b, I’m completely paralysed in the left arm and I can’t feel my left leg, I can’t waljk so I’m in a wheelchair although as they are supposed to give people in my position unswjwbdabxe with my paralysed arm I can’t even drive the manual wheelchair myself, overnight I went from being completely independent


to having no independence

I’ve been in hospital for 2 months whilst my time alive just dwindles away, I. cry every single morning and every single night, in the mornings I almost wet the bed or worse as the nurses are so busy they can’t get to you quickly so if youre busting and can’t walk oh well, your loss… in my opinion this isn’t living, I’m 42 and I’ve already looked into euthanasia because of my situation I’ve come to accept that I’m dying

but it’s the decline that’ scares me the most , if I evenunable to work & trying to enjoy everyday… in the past go find me supporterhave helped alleviate so much financial stress I’ve carried on top of this cancer battle for 15 years
added financial stress. I never thought I’d be in this position, it is so unbelievably embarrassing even feeling the need to ask for help

this intravenous drug has not been approved in any country and has never been used to treat anyone in Australia so I’m prettt nervous, some of the common side effects are pretty serious


From Anna … Dec 2024
Hi there, I’m a 41 year old Sydney woman , sadly Ive just been diagnosed with another brain tumour having my 5TH BRAIN SURGERY this week, as I currently have no possible treatment options left to try and slow this cancer and there is no cure…



Your donations will help me in so many ways, contributing to every aspect - my medical, rent, energy, food, medication, cancer psychiatrist and soecialist costs, and all my everyday living costs, whilst I’m unable to work.

and hopefully enable me to make a few memories with loved ones.

Ive been battling terminal brain cancer for 14 years. I’ve had 5 major brain surgeries, radiotherapy and many many stints of chemotherapy and treatment over this period. I’m now immune to chemo


Sadly there is no cure for brain cancer. In the future I’m going to lose my mental and physical capacity over time… it’s already started and unfortunately there’s no light at the end of the tunnel which absolutely breaks my heart, I’m trying to get on a brain cancer trial, which may make me very sick and there could be no outcome… but that’s the risk we take.. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t suffering and the stress financially is extremely bad for my brain and overall wellbeing.



Thank you so much for all of your love and support. I don’t take anything for granted.
Love Anna

kindness and gratitude is truly everything.

“My name is Jules Robinson and I was fortunate enough to choose Anna as one of my ambassadors for FIGUR in 2020. She had an inspiring story to share and I could tell from her application she lived life to the full, and shared so much positivity and sunshine wherever she went, it was contagious.. Her sense of humour is also something to love about her. She mentioned, “she always likes to leave anyone who has had any interaction with her in a positive way with a smile on their face” Even though she had gone through the darkest moments in life suffering terminal brain cancer. And continues to battle with treatment.”


Please support her and help her have this stress taken away from her

thanks so much
