Michael Valentine hasn't added a story.
Our granny came to visit us here in the UK in July 2014. She discovered a lump in her Breast a few weeks ago and after having a mammogram and ultrasound at the Primrose Unit of Derriford Hospital here in Plymouth, the specialist confirmed she has breast cancer. She was due to stay for Christmas but needs to have the Tumour removed and chemotherapy, so we have resceduled her flight back to China for 24th October. She can't be treated here in England as she is Chinese. The specialist has said that treatment here in the UK would cost (worst case scenario) £40,000 - £50,000. She has an insurance policy in China that will cover 80% of the treatment costs so our family has to raise £10,000 to ensure she gets treatment. The Chinese system is different to the NHS. You must pay up front for treatment, and then submit the receipts to the insurance company for reimbursement. We asked MacMillan for a grant, but because she is Chinese they were unwilling to help as they only help UK citizens. Could you help by making a small donation?
