My name is Lochie NGO. I am a friend and also Priscilla's work boss at Dynamic Stability. I have been fortunate to have Priscilla on my team for 3 years. She is such a caring, intelligent and motherly person. She constantly gives to her clients as a health carer but also to her friends and colleagues as a team player. As someone with a lot of zest for life, it breaks my heart to see her on the brink of being taken away so early in her battle with breast cancer.

Please help, in however big or small that you can spare, me gather some funds to help Priscilla obtain optimal treatment, so that she may gain a few more years to see her beautiful, gentle, 3 young daughters through high school and onto further education.

Below is Priscilla's Story... 

____________________________________

In 2014, Priscilla at the age of only 41 was diagnosed with Grade III breast cancer. While the cancer was detected early, it was extremely aggressive. Priscilla was lucky to secure excellent medical care and immediate treatment including mastectomy, chemotherapy and hormone therapy. Priscilla and her family moved to Adelaide for 2.5 years for extended family support.

In the following years, the cancer seemed successfully in remission and Priscilla led a normal and healthy life, and during this time she resumed her career as a physiotherapist at Dynamic Stability and Richmond Physiotherapy Clinic.

Early this year (2023) Priscilla suffered from increasing back and hip pain which (in mid April) was discovered due to a return of her breast cancer. It is unfortunately very aggressive - Stage IV metastatic cancer in her spine, pelvis, hips, ribs, liver, lung and abdominal lymph nodes. CT scans also revealed fractures to the T9 vertebra and right hip (neck of femur), with her bones and organs severely compromised.

She was admitted to hospital unable to walk and bordering on liver failure, having lost 5 kg due to severe bone depletion. After 3 weeks of intensive radio and chemotherapy, Priscilla is home and responding well to treatment. Walking and particularly stairs are restricted due to fractures in her hips and spine.

Priscilla requires home care to function in daily life. If treatment proceeds smoothly, she will continue chemotherapy for 2 more months before receiving a total hip replacement so she can walk without aids.

Priscilla has great support from her family and friends. Her husband and children have shown great resilience during this traumatic period. The children (aged 17, 15 and 12) are being very mature in their grief and acceptance. The local school community have organised a meal train to support them. Friends are also providing wonderful gifts of food and supplements to support Priscilla’s healing.

While she is steadily improving, Stage IV is an incurable chronic disease and Priscilla’s life expectancy estimate is 12 months..

In addition to western cancer treatment and hip replacement, Priscilla is fasting prior to chemo, taking mineral supplements and seeking energy healing. She is pursuing all approved treatment options in conjunction with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery.

As you can imagine, the costs of treatments required are high (and due to her health history, Priscilla could get no income protection insurance). Her husband is supporting their family and her extended family are assisting with some treatment costs, however a significant gap remains.  

We seek to raise enough funds to support Priscilla's optimal treatment in the hope that we will give her a few extra years with her children to see them complete high school.  Any additional funds will help support the girls’ future education.

Any gift - large or small - that will help get to our target would be greatly appreciated. Please join us in supporting this beautiful, loyal and caring person who is our colleague and our friend, to give her the gift of time.

“Thank you so much for your support-

It is sincerely appreciated”

Priscilla and Family
