Iʼve raised £9,643 to help pay for my mum's cancer medication.
- Banff, Aberdeenshire
- Funded on Thursday, 23rd May 2024
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
Just over a year ago at the tender age of 46 my mum was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and Bowel cancer, one of which has spread to her liver.
Throughout the last 14 months she’s been on the most aggressive form of chemotherapy there is, however we’ve now been informed this is no longer working and the tumours are getting bigger. This in turn means all chemo has been stopped and we are now looking for new paths to take.
Our doctor has prompted us to continue on with our alternative medication but to double the dose, to try and flood her system with it for the next 3 months before her next scan.
To do this though we need any help we can get. 3 months worth of medication will cost us just over £6500 and this doesnt include continued treatment if it works out how we hope.
If you are friends with mum, work with my mum or simply have had the pleasure of knowing her you will know how much of a trooper she really is, she asks for nothing and will give everything. Now even though i know shes gritting her teeth reading this.. its our time as a family to ask for help.
We still have time to make a really big difference and potentially open up doors that are currently closed to us. We just need to act NOW!
Thank you so much for reading.

4 months agoSadly on the 4th of July 2024 my beautiful mum passed away. I’d like to say a huge thank you to every single one of you who took the time to donate and give their love during such a hard time in our lives. I can’t express the gratitude both myself, my family and especially my mum had when she truly realised just how many people cared for her. The phone call when she realised we were almost at target, the shear shock in her voice - will forever stick with me. Thank you ♥️ If you’d like to attend the funeral please know details are on FB.

10 months agoI’m absolutely blown away with the support and generosity of everyone who has taken the time and kindness to donate, thank you! ❤️ This has by far been the most difficult experience of my life but with the love and support from friends and family I continue on with my adventure. I truly can’t thank each and everyone enough, we will now be able to purchase the first 3 months to get started and give us time as a family to continue saving for more. 🤞🏻 It is one less thing to worry about 🥰 Again, thank you so so much, really does mean alot ❤️

10 months ago6k!!! I can not believe how well we are doing in such a short space of time. You guys are unbelievable. As I mentioned in the post anything we hit after the goal will still be an absolutely amazing boost. Treatment is ongoing and fingers crossed we’ll be continuing this after these 3 months. We’re already gobssmacked our family now have 3 months worth of wages we can put in a kitty for what comes next in April. We’ve truthfully been scraping the barrel for months now and this means the absolute world ❤️ 🌍
