Urgent Cancer Treatment For Dee Campaign
I write this on behalf of my oldest friend.
We all dread the big "C" but when you get the diagnosis, there's no going around it. There's no going over it. You have to go through it.
In October 2023 Dee got that diagnosis. She has multiple very large breast tumours that have metastisized.
Unfortunately, it was a late stage diagnosis.
She was doing well on a particular therapy and poured huge amounts of money into her healing journey, almost emptying her savings.
Then right before Christmas, she lost most of her income due to a change in company structure at her workplace is now not only unable to pay for her treatments, but is fighting to find an income to simply maintain her and little Leja. Stopping cancer treatment is never a good idea, especially in a late stage diagnosis.
Dee got a second opinion from a doctor in Stellenbosch who echoed the alarm and seriousness but believes a different protocol would be beneficial.
While the treatment cost might not have been a lot for Dee 5 months ago, it is now impossible.
She describes the loss of her income as "a kiss of death".
Understandably, she is very emotional and has been in a very dark place mentally.
It is difficult to imagine how scary this situation is. She's told her income will rise again in a few months, but Dee does not have time. She needs an oncologist and a rigorous protocol ASAP.
Can we stand together and show Dee that she matters? This fundraiser will (hopefully) pay for her treatment which then enables her to focus on trying to plug the gaps in her income.
Please spread far and wide. Every bit helps.
