Supporting Kat’s Cancer Surgery and Recovery

My name is Dan, and I am reaching out for help as my wife, Kat, faces one of the biggest battles of her life.

Kat has been diagnosed again with vulva cancer, she has an active tumor and is currently living with severe pain that requires morphine to manage. The disease has progressed to the point where she is unable to carry out normal daily activities and requires significant care and support.

We are urgently awaiting surgery, which may take place in Portugal or Sweden, depending on where treatment can be arranged the fastest possible. While we do not yet have a confirmed date, we are hopeful that surgery will happen soon. We have been advised by our Swedish specialist that whilst we have won the battle before, this is the most challenging to date.

The treatment journey ahead is daunting. We expect at least a week in hospital followed by a lengthy recovery period during which Kat will require 24-hour care. During this time, I will be her primary caregiver, helping with her daily needs, medical appointments, medications, mobility, and recovery.

We have set a goal of €20,000 to help cover the costs associated with treatment and recovery, including medical expenses, travel and accommodation if treatment takes place abroad, medications, recovery care, household expenses, and lost income while I care for Kat full-time.

Anyone who knows Kat knows her strength, kindness, and determination. She is as hard as nails, but it is starting to wear us down. Despite the pain and uncertainty, she continues to face each day with courage. Our focus is on giving her the best possible chance of recovery, but we cannot do it alone.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden and allow us to focus on what matters most—Kat’s treatment, recovery, and wellbeing.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this page with others would mean just as much to us.

Thank you for your support, generosity, and kindness during this incredibly difficult time.

Love

Dan & Kat
