Personal message

I was diagnosed with breast cancer stage 2 in 2021, I had 16 rounds of chemo, surgery and 31 rounds of radiation. It was a very draining year physically and financially.

Unfortunately, this year, 2023 I was re-diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer on the spine, they also found 2 fractures on my spine so I had an emergency surgery to avoid permanent paralysis & I now have screws in my back and recovery is taking longer than expected since my bones are weak which means I can’t sit up for long hours or walk for more than 10 mins.

I have gone to government hospitals for help and they told me they can’t help me since I’m on stage 4 so I had to go the private health route & it’s very expensive especially since I’m unemployed and cannot exactly work since I’m physically unfit. The chemo I was on from beginning of the year 2023 (Kryxana) didn’t work at all and it was very expensive (over 25k per month) and I have very limited funds on medical aid. I’m now on new Chemo.

I’m currently in need of physio as I’m not fully mobile yet. I’m unemployed & fully dependent on friends and family for essentials, transportation to my treatment, supplements and so on. I have medical bills piling up & I’m missing important checkups since I can’t afford it, my spine needs regular checkups since it’s still weak from the surgery and the cancer.

I get admitted quite often because I get sick from the chemo and that means a lot of scans need to be done and medical aid only pays a limited amount for those, my lungs are affected as well as my heart so I'm need of oxygen assistance now and again.

I have been sharing parts of my breast cancer journey on instagram (@thefit_cancerwarrior) to share awareness and also to get some support.

Getting these funds would really mean a lot to me because then I’ll be able to cover a lot of medical expenses, essentials, daily supplements and more.

Thank you in advance.

Second Breast Cancer fight Campaign

In 2021, I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, undergoing 16 rounds of chemo, surgery, and 31 rounds of radiation.

The physical and financial toll was immense. In 2023, I was re-diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer on the spine, leading to emergency surgery and screws in my back. Recovery is challenging due to weak bones.

Government hospitals couldn't assist, forcing me into expensive private healthcare. Unemployed and physically unfit, I face mounting medical bills, missed checkups, and frequent admissions. I'm in need of physio, oxygen assistance, and support for essentials.

Your support would mean a lot. Thank you.
