What you should know about The Lounge Ltd (DigitAl Retouching)

Each year nearly 5,00 New Zealanders are diagnosed with a GI cancer half of these people will die within five years of diagnosis. She told us the terrible news of her diagnosis with Pancreatic Cancer, the outcome was grim, there was very little they could do, and she wanted to come home and live with us. We hung up from that phone call totally devastated, as you can well imagine, and with very little knowledge on what Pancreatic Cancer actually was. What we learnt over the following four weeks, before her arrival, was harrowing and it was difficult to get our heads around the fact that this had happened to a woman who had been home with us at Christmas, walked for an hour each day, went to Hot Yoga every single day, ate well, had a fabulous body, and was an incredibly fit and vibrant 53 year old. The scary part was that the signs that alerted Hilary to her illness started off as nothing more than an upset stomach, some indegestion and then a nagging pain in her lower back. Nothing major, you would think, but with Pancreatic cancer these are the telltail signs and in many cases the disease is already in its advanced stages. Not a lot can be done, but whatever the doctors had to throw at it Hilz was prepared to take.
Fight she certainly did, she clung onto life with a will as strong as a thousand lions and she tried very hard to beat this dreadful disease. After four rounds of chemotherapy and many visits to the doctor, Auckland Hospital, copious amounts of pills and time in Hospice, Pancreatic Cancer took our dear Hilz, almost six months to the day of her diagnosis. We have been left with a huge void in our lives, always struggling with the WHY Hilz? How can this happen to such a vivacious healthy person? Why was it so brutal? Why did she have endure so much pain and then the, what can we do?. Sadly, gastro intestinal cancer is the most common form of cancer in New Zealand, and affects males and females equally. Within weeks of losing Hilz another dear friend, Trish Beadle, a sporty, fit, active, rock 'n' rolling wife and mother of four, in her 50’s, also passed away with a GI Cancer.
Tony and I made a pledge to help raise awareness and support the Gastro Intestinal Cancer Institute of New Zealand by raising funds to support their clinical research, which in turn will benefit anyone who is faced with this dreadful disease
