Story
Ok my sister is going to kill me for doing this, as she thinks it is begging and there are other people worse off. But I really don’t know what she thinks has to happen for her to be deserving of peoples help.
So 3 weeks before Christmas 2022 my sister (Susan) was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Fast forward to a couple of weeks after Christmas and after multiple scans and tests she was told that it had spread to the glands in her neck, therefore there was nothing they could do for her. She is receiving palliative care and chemo to prolong her life, but for how long no one knows.
But that isn’t all. Just over a week ago she ended up in hospital after suffering a stroke, in fact the doctors have said she has had multiple. They are unsure what caused the strokes but believe it is the chemo she is receiving therefore treatment has been postponed. So what was supposed to be helping her live longer is in-fact making things worse. All the time she has been in hospital her husband John has not left her side, however he is self employed, therefore if he doesn’t work, he doesn’t get paid and obviously susan is off sick from work.
All this has happened just 2 years after we lost my son to leukaemia, we are all in shock that this could happen again to our family and so soon and to someone so young. She is only 44 and has 4 children, the youngest only recently turning 11 and a 3 year old granddaughter. So I am setting up this page to help raise money for her funeral, for one less thing to worry about and to help her and her family to make wonderful memories before the dreaded day comes. Whether your donation is big or small it all helps. Thank you so much in advance.

1 year agoSo chemo has been postponed again due to more blood clots on her lungs. Susan is back in hospital to try and find out where the clots are coming from. Fingers crossed she won’t be in for too long and they sort her out and get chemo started again x

1 year agoSo just to update you all. Still no chemo and after her latest scans they found blood clots on her lungs, 2 on each. St Giles hospice nurses have finally been in touch and have helped with pain relief and a few other things. Can’t believe she has just been on paracetamol all this time. But now she is on the hard stuff lol. Hopefully, fingers crossed she will start back on chemo next month 🤞🏼
