Hi everyone, my name is Aoibhín and I am setting up this LFEBridge on behalf of my mother, Marian Reid As some of you may know, my mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cervical Cancer back in February after almost a year of being shafted and ignored by her GP and other doctors within hospitals. She initially went to her own doctor with alarming symptoms in early 2024 but was dismissed. She then went to hospital in hopes of getting some clarity on her pain and was told it was a cyst. There were no follow up tests or any other form of further investigation on her case. In June of last year, she went to A&E and was sent home with painkillers. Eventually, in February of this year, she received a delayed stage 4 cancer diagnosis. She went through 28 radiotherapy sessions alongside chemotherapy and is now recovering from her brachytherapy. We are awaiting her scans and results to see where life will take her next, and we are hoping she can get back to doing what she loves soon, working and taking care of the elderly. For anyone who knows her, you'll know she has a heart of gold and a wicked sense of humour. This treatment wouldn’t have been possible without the support of her many friends and family that have been a huge help to her and us since the diagnosis. So first of all, a huge thank you to anyone who supported her in any way they could. Most people have seen someone go through radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, or maybe had to go through it themselves at one point, and are aware of the impact it has on the quality of life, mental health and general energy levels. It is a very difficult thing to watch a loved one go through. In my mother’s case, it has also impacted her financially due to being out of work, living alone and having very little income. As of now, we are trying to get some money together to put towards a place for my mother to live. At the moment, she is recovering at her home house receiving palliative care but would love to have a space to call her own again, where she can heal comfortably and get the best possible care. And this is where I am reaching out to ask for help. It’s not a comfortable thing to do as I am very aware that many others are struggling to make ends meet and survive day to day. So I am kindly asking for any support you might be able to offer, however small and trivial it may seem, to help ease the financial stress my mother is now facing and will continue to face until she is back on her feet again. Any donation, whatever you can afford, no matter how small would make the absolute world of difference to us ❤️ Thank you
