Having just got off the phone with my sister and after the meeting with the oncologist today it has been discovered that the cancer in several areas of her body. I am posting a link here for anyone who can contribute. Because my mother wants this to be private
we have resisted posting this on Facebook so my wife and I are seeking help from the various groups we belong to. You can also share this link with others if you are unable to help. Thank you all who have taken the time to read this even if unable to help.

I want her to be able to pick up her granddaughter and hold her tight. She turns 18 months in two days and my mom only saw her when she was a newborn.

We have had great success by the generosity of strangers. I am amazed and I have cried from what compassion has been shown to us. It really would be impossible to do this without support. I just want my mom to be able to pick up her granddaughter one more time as she is beginning to have pain in her arms and shoulders. This is because they now believe the cancer is also in her bones though we are still waiting on that part.

Your generosity really means a lot. I know it's hard to trust things like this but we are as genuine as can be. We would not be able to make this trip without this help. Thank you!

I bought my dear friend a plane ticket to Japan so she could spend time with her son who is dying of colon/stomach cancer. I lost my dad and my sister to cancer, so believe me, I understand. We are all one big family, us Earthlings
