I need your help
Donation protected
Hello Everyone, I am Rosamund. I am 38 years old, a fighting survivor of spina bifida since birth and leukaemia since 2001.
In 1990, I had bladder augmentation surgery, which included putting in a prosthesis to help me live a more normal life, e.g. - attend school, church, family outings. Against standard regulations, this prosthesis has not been reviewed over the years by the responsible medical professionals. 11 years later, this prosthesis began to erode causing severe abdominal pain & eventually breaking out into an abscess. This was life-threatening as it had the potential to poison my blood.
On 24th May this year, doctors successfully removed the eroded part and the abscess in an emergency surgery. However, removing & replacing the remaining part involves facilities & experience not available in Barbados. Leaving this part of the prosthesis inside me creates an immediate potential for further infection which is life threatening as it could lead to blood poisoning.
I have exhausted the help available here in Barbados, and several of my local doctors have strongly suggested that I seek medical help overseas as soon as possible.
I need your help. All donations are deeply appreciated.
Thank you ALL!
With love,
Ros
