Iain's Unexpected Brain Tumour Surgery Fund

Hello, friends and family of Iain and Rachel...

It's Suzanne (Rachel's sister) writing this. I never thought we would need to ask for help with something as shocking as this.

As most of you will know, Iain and Rachel have spent the last 8 months traveling in Australia prior to their wedding celebrations set for July 2023.

They had planned to visit Vietnam on their way home to the UK, but unfortunately, after arriving there on Saturday 29th of April, everything had changed by Tuesday 2nd of May.

Iain took a turn in the night with excruciating head pain, vomiting, and then deteriorated speech and movement. He was rushed to the hospital thinking it could have been a stroke.

After some tests, an MRI scan revealed a large brain tumour. Thankfully the doctors at University Medical Centre of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (where Iain is currently) have said it is operable but they need Iain to be in a stable condition for this to go ahead.

Iain's condition deteriorated drastically throughout the day, resulting in him slipping into a coma. Fortunately, this morning (3rd of May) Rachel received the good news that Iain is now stable and responsive!

At the moment Rachel is dealing with this unexpected and devastating situation alone in Vietnam. The funds from this page would make a huge difference in helping with the medical bills that are already stacking up, as well as supporting Rachel to be able to be at Iain's side in Vietnam for however long is necessary.

We are so thankful for the support that people have already shown as this situation develops. We will keep you updated on this page wherever possible.

Thank you!
