UPDATE From 4th Sept:
MUM DOESN’T HAVE CANCER!!! Thank you guys! Thank GOD!!!
She was initially diagnosed with Stage 3-4 ovarian cancer due to having a giant tumor (weighing 9.3kg). Final diagnosis is ovarian fibrothecoma which is a RARE but BENIGN tumour. It is NOT cancerous! The doctors thought it was cancerous and malignant but it isn’t! They however have the same signs and symptoms of a Stage 3-4 ovarian cancer. We are looking for a 2nd opinion, not that we do not trust her doctors, but because we just want to be sure and extra safe! The panic the initial diagnosis gave us was out of this world. We will keep this GoFundMe cause open just in case until everything has settled and everything is certain. Our family are GRATEFUL for everyone who prayed and sent their donations. May you all have prosperous and healthy lives!!!
Updates soon. Xxx

Hi. My name is Noeni. I am an NHS nurse here in the UK and I am pleading for financial help for my mother, Nona, back in the Philippines.
We have received horrible news that she has Ovarian Cancer and we really need help funding the treatment. She needs surgery urgently and chemotherapy and the cost of cancer treatment and hospitalisation in the Philippines is very expensive; any little will really help us out.
The doctors have informed us that the estimate cost for the surgery alone is ₱ 250,000 or around £ 3,333. The extra amount will go to hospitalisation and chemotherapy, which can range to ₱ 25,000- 125,000 per session.
My mother is known as a kind, generous, helpful, friendly, godly and outgoing person and has always been a big part of our community. She is a very loving woman who always extends her hand to other people and believes that God always has a higher purpose/ reason for everything. Even upon knowing this diagnosis she is still a vibrant little flower brightening up peoples' days.
Please donate to this fundraiser and share to reach a wider audience. We greatly appreciate your help and updates will be provided. God bless all.
