Fighting for My Mom Campaign
Around 6 months ago my Mom, Alison West, was rushed into hospital with severe abdominal pain, she underwent emergency surgery where they then found a tumor in her colon. Shortly after her surgery she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Doctors were adamant that they would be able to remove the tumor and scheduled her for surgery to do just that. Two days before she was supposed to go in for the surgery she developed a blood clot in her lung, thus making the surgery impossible as she had to be put on blood thinners. The new plan from there was 3 months on the blood thinners and start the chemo for those three months and there after go back and reassess removing the tumor. Since then she has had two other set backs, one requiring another emergency surgery as well as a trapped sciatica causing my Mom to be in terrible pain.Fast forward a bit and she was all hooked up to the Chemo through her Chemo port and ready to get this journey started, only to discover none of the chemo went in due to an issue with her port. Her port now has to be replaced before she is able to start chemo.
ONTOP of all this we have been told her medical aid funds have now been depleted and with all the unexpected complications her bills are piling up FAST.
I am pleading for anyone who knows me, my amazing mother or her family to please help us cover atleast some of the costs we have incurred and will face for a while.
Please help us relieve some of the financial burden so we are able to focus on what is the most important thing and that is my Mom and getting her healthy again so she gets to see her Children grow a little older and her Grand daughter grow up.
Any amount would be HIGHLY appreciated.
Thank you
