WHY WE DO, WHAT WE DO….

After suffering from stomach pain and having difficulty going to the toilet, Amelia’s mum suspected she may have a food intolerance. An ultrasound uncovered a cancerous tumour that was roughly thirteen centimetres.

Further tests revealed the cancer had spread to her bone marrow.

After countless test, treatment and hospital stays Amelia’s condition was looking up. The tumour had shrunk to a manageable size for removal and the cancer in her bone marrow had dramatically reduced.

Amelia was due to be let home, when things took a turn for the worse, her condition deteriorated and left us as a family heartbroken beyond repair. Amelia passed away on the 25th January 2021.
