Cork family appeal for help for 35-year-old mum after breast cancer diagnosis
Aisling Murphy Collins has metastatic breast cancer
A Cork family has appealed for help for a mum of two after breast cancer diagnosis.
Aisling Murphy Collins, aged 35, was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, which is a type of breast cancer that spreads from the primary tumour in the breast to another part of the body.
To help her and her family cover the medical costs, her sister-in-law, Valerie Collins has created a fundraiser.
"Please help us to support Aisling in her ongoing battle with her advanced breast cancer. Her husband Darren & children Adaline (8) & Teddy (5) give her all the love she needs, however, we hope to provide them with some financial support to cover ongoing medical and living costs, as they fight this deadly disease together," said Valerie on a GoFundMe page.
"Over the past 3 years she has bravely faced chemotherapy, a mastectomy, numerous rounds of radiotherapy, immunotherapy and continues her fight for life, all while being a loving mother and wife. At 35 years old, she is truly an amazingly resilient person with an unwavering positive attitude to every obstacle," she added.
"Life with metastatic breast cancer, and the associated medical costs, has become a huge struggle financially. Much of the financial pressures they have not had the time and space to contemplate. This family needs your help for what lies ahead."
