It's been 2 month since my stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Still WTF! My 3 months of chemo has well and truly begun, I have multiple surgeries ahead and I'm now realising the reality. I've had to pause my business and will not be working and earning an income for quite some time. Although we have medical covered, I am learning quickly. Cancer is expensive, chemo is really hard and life doesn't stop!

This collection started as a food train in result to the outpouring of support I had from my communities, it's now evolving into oh shit, I'm not going to be working for at least 12mths situation! I am blessed to be able to do a few hours a week wfh, behind a computer with the much loved Summit Health Group but I'm concerned that will get harder as I progress through different stages of my treatments.

This is not a time to be proud, it's time to ask for help to reduce the financial strain and stress for my family so I can get over the I'm not contributing guilts, pay the bills and focus on what's important. Healing, resting, obliterating the cancer and getting better so I can hang around in this life for longer! I would really like to do that.

Much love,

Carla and family xo

Hi everyone, I had promising news from the oncologist last week and things are on track for best possible outcome. Getting rid of these tumours! In my spare time (there is a bit of that!), I've started a blog. First post gives more insight into how this happened, how I found out and my exact diagnosis. Would love to share with you all... https://carlalewinsmith.com/carlas-open-book/how-did-this-happen Much love, Carla xo

Hi my beautiful friends, angels and supporters, The outpouring of love and support we received has blown us away and been so well received. Thank you. An update from my doctors and surgeons this week. My bloods are looking good, my treatment is right on track, it's not impossible and is manageable. Lots of treatments and major surgeries ahead. The food train has evolved more now. Funds are still getting used to support nutrition, however with the realities of me not being able to work for at least 12mths does create financial stress for my family. We are have discovered Cancer is expensive, chemo treatment is hard, life still goes on and life expenses still go up! Whilst we have medical covered, it's this the lots life stuff that gets impacted, it's our kids get impacted. This is not a time to be proud, it's a time for support. I've kept this collection through the back channels but will be posting on socials next week, or week after. So big thanks for all your support so far. When the time comes and I put it on socials, feel free to share. I also love connecting with people and am writing a lot about my story as I go. I express to process, feel to heal and write to share 🩷 Much love!

Hi my most beautiful and appreciated Angels, supports and friends, We have been blown away be the outpouring of love and support we have received and I couldn't thank you enough for your donations 🩷 Feedback from my doctors this week has been. Everything is right on track. It's not impossible and what the see is manageable. Major treatment and surgeries but doable! I'll take that! The food train has evolved, we are still using funds to support my nutrition and ease for my family and with the reality of me not working for 12mths it has turned into more now. Cancer is expensive, chemo is hard, life goes on and so do the costs of living. We have all our medical expenses covered, it now becomes the life expenses. It's not a time to be proud, it's time to reduce stress and activate support. Your support has already been well received, thank you. I'll be sharing this out further over the coming weeks via my socials but first I wanted to share with my communities 🩷
