Card Wish

[Acidburnrosie]

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this but i was wondering if any of you ladies would help me. My mum was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 2 weeks ago, shes had the op etc and is now waiting for the radiotherapy. She has decided that she wants to raise funds for Breast Cancer Care and has organised a stall at a rugby club (FOC as she used to work there). She has asked me to make some cards to sell and i was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to make some for me to sell on the stall. ALL the money raised will be donated online to this page (http://www.justgiving.com/momospage). Ive started making some but have limited time (the stall is on the 28th of October). Any cards will do Birthday, Christmas, Wedding etc...We will also be doing cakes, homemade jams (both me and mum are qualified chefs) and a raffle on the stall.

If anyone would like to make a card or two:D to help Breast Cancer Care then me and my mum (and 2 aunties plus countless other people) would be really grateful......:D

[Sky]

i'll do some for you hun,my mil had breast cancer and although she has been given the all clear,she's taking tablets forever and the it's never out of our minds.
i would love to give to a great cause:)
pm me your addy:)

[tinker]

Ill send a few too hun :wub:

Pm me your address :D

[Kell]

What a fantasic idea for fundraising. If everyone donated just 1 card it'll be a good start. Everyone is so kind on here I'm sure you'll get loads. I'd love to know how many you get.

PM me your addy, only thing I don't have is those plastic packets to put cards in to keep them safe.

Why don't you ask on the other forums for other useful things to sell?

[sarahscards]

I'd love to send some cards - what's your address?

[Acidburnrosie]

Thank you ladies...ive pmed you all:wub:

If you want i will keep a running total of the amount of cards sent in (as suggested by Kellybevan) and once we have had the stall on the 28th i will let you know how much was raised:D

[Kel]

PM me your addy and I'll get some out too :)

[ziggysmammy]

Would love to help you out.....pm me your addy and I'll get cracking :)
Oh and (((HUGS))) to all of you....

[Power]

I got breast cancer 3 years ago, had an op, had to have chemo & radio, got over that, then last year got secondaries, bone cancer n my right arm. Got over that - feeling good, ride a mountain bike now, also do Norse Pole walking, & have a whole new outlook on life. Love to yur Mum, we are survivors! I'll never get to ride across USA like Jane Tomlinson, or walk marathons like Findlay What's his name, but I'm working on it!! Will send some cards if you PM me. Power.

[MagiKae]

PM me your addy and I'll send some cards, too :)

[tinker]

I have just sent 6 first class for you Nina :D
They r from my early collection :ph34r: But for me to make you some would just take forever :lol:
Anyway they all will help i hope :ph34r:

[Acidburnrosie]

Thank you so much....when i told my mum that you were all sending cards in she started crying!!! bless her...she was so touched that strangers cared! and it helps us to get nearer to her fundraising target of £500

[tinker]

aaww you got me in tears now :wub:
Send your Mum my love ;)

[chris22]

pm me your address i will be pleased to make some

[Suzbits]

pm me your address and i will send some too, i have been trying to sell off some of my stocks through ebay but no-one wants them (sob, sob) so i would rather they went to your good cause than collating dust in my cupboards.

Kay :wacko:

[dancingfrog]

Hi

Will happily send some cards, pm me your address and will do asap

Jayne x

[SarahYoo]

I would love to help you out with a few cards too, my Nan has had breast cancer twice, once as a young woman, and then also again about 6 years ago, she is fine now, so anything to help raise funds for a worthy cause such as this is the least I can do:wub:
PM me your addy, please:D

Sarah x

[lazykaz]

I know I've only just joined but if you PM me your address I'll send some to you. When I was well I used to be a radiographer doing mammos, so I know how devastating it can be, but also I know how many women are surviving these days and how important the donations to charities are.

[Acidburnrosie]

Thank you so much ladies...my mum is totally overwhelmed by your generosity.

[Kell]

oh on the subject of cancer are you all aware that CLIC (cancer and leukemia in children) collect stamps and they get money for them not sure how much but they do get something for them. I'll have to ask when I go there again.

So when you all get things in the post remember to save your used stamps and pop them into one of the CLIC charity shops.

[Acidburnrosie]

My local cancer research shop collects stamps so i will take them there (always do) but it is a good idea.However if you want me to send you the used stamps to donate to that charity the i will, just let me know:D

[Giavanna]

Nina, please pm me your address - Id like to help

Jo

[Kell]

As long as a charity gets them thats the main thing you'll have loads next time you vist judging by the amount of people who can't wait to help. What a friendly bunch we are!

[Acidburnrosie]

I think you are all fantastic:wub: ....

i was a little unsure about asking but thought that if i was turned down than i could change my user name and not be embarrassed:lol:

[lardyboy91]

my mil is just part way through the chemo following breast cancer i would love to send some cards on to you - pm me your addy
Amanda x

[Sharon Betts]

PM your addy and I'll pop a few in the post.
Best wishes to your mum and family - it must be a very worrying and stressful time.
Sharon.

[Acidburnrosie]

[LadyJayne]

Hi, I'm very new at this forum thingy and this is the first reply I've posted but I was very touched by your mum's idea to raise money for Breast Cancer Care. I ran the Race for Life in aid of Cancer Research earlier in the year for the first time and had to stop reading all the reasons why people were running in the end in order that I wasn't a complete soggy mess at the finishing line. I would love to send you some cards if you PM me your address I'll get right onto it. Hope I've done this right!

[Acidburnrosie]

Hiya Ladies ive pmed you all.....Thanks for offering......

I will post when i have received that cards and will keep a tally in my signature.......

Welcome to UKS LadyJayne....and your first post is great....

[Acidburnrosie]

Mum is at the hospital tomorrow to get the results on the lymph node biopsy as they thought that there were a couple of suspect ones....fingers crossed!!!


ON a more positive note..........33 lovely UKS members have pledged to send some cards in....how amazing is that......

[Eileen C]

Glad you liked the cards, only too happy to help.

Fingers crossed for the lymph node biopsy results. Remember, there's LOADS that can be done for breast cancer these days, it's so common that the research just keeps on coming, which is great news

Eileen

[lazykaz]

Fingers crossed all's ok, let us know please.

[Jay]

Mum is at the hospital tomorrow to get the results on the lymph node biopsy as they thought that there were a couple of suspect ones....fingers crossed!!!

Sarah xx

[ffims]

Pm me your addy and I will send some cards.....

I have had two close friends battle the cancer and have come through my prayers are with you and yours.......

[sammykaye]

I will make some too. Please can you PM me your addy?

I ordered the Paper Nation BCC kit the other night and was wondering what to do with it when it arrives. I was thinking I'll sell the cards and donate the funds to BCC, would you mind if I sent you those too when I've made them?

Sam

[wssla00]

I can send you the ones i made from this weeks card challenge if you want??

[Acidburnrosie]

Thank you ladies that would be brill...i will pm you now...

The good news....33 cards received today....from jay, lazykaz and suzbits, thay are all fantastic....

The bad news.....mums cancer has spread. She has to have another operation tomorrow to remove the whole breast as there are pockets of tumours but not big enough to show up on mamograms. She will have to have chemo and radiotherapy. She is already talking about what wigs she wants and the colours of the headscarfs she can have. There has been a few tears but she said "she would rather lose a tit, than her life" She is amazing...i dont think i would cope as well if it were me.....

[lazykaz]

I'm sorry to hear your mum's got more surgery to face, but it sounds like she has a good attitude. She's getting the right treatment for her and its better that they were too small to be seen on the mammo than having been there a while. She's confronting it head-on but I'm sure she's suffering inside so give her a hug from me and one for you too. We're all rooting for you.

Glad the bits arrived ok.

[Jay]

Your Mum sounds like a strong person. Prayers and hugs are coming your way.

[Kell]

what else are you selling on your stall? is it gonna just be a fundraising stall for breast cancer? Is it well advertised? I am only asking as I had a thought as your mum is talking of which colour headscarves etc. Maybe little late but maybe you could ask for people to make some to put on your stall as there are a lot of women who need them. Lots of people have fabric lying around doing nothing.

[Jimjams]

Mine went in the post today Nina.
So sorry to hear your Mum needs surgery - just take comfort that the doctors are doing something and it sounds like she is doing her best to have a positive attitude - we're all thinking of her - positive vibes on their way :love:.

[Mrs O]

Hi Nina, sorry to hear your news, hope everything goes ok with your mom, my thoughts are with you both. Posted my cards today to you, hope they are ok, best wishes, Sharon x :wub:

[Acidburnrosie]

Thank you for the well wishes...im just waiting to hear how the surgery has gone and i will be going to visit her later....

Cards received from Dancingfrog, Jimjams and Jot today...wow....fantastic cards ladies

[allyf]

Sorry about your Mum, hope the surgery went well. I have some cards I can send you if you send me your address.
:-)

[Claireb]

PM me your addy I will be more then happy to send you some, I have some Chrimbo cards and some older ones that I can send.

Prayers and hugs to your mum, she sounds like a head strong person with plenty of people who love her and will give her the support
Clairex

[Acidburnrosie]

Kelly....we are having a raffle, cakes, homemade jams etc.....we are thinking of having another fundraising event just before or just after christmas. It all depends on how mum feeling.

She (my mum Tyna) has come out of the surgery and it went well. Im going to see her in about 20 mins.....

[lazykaz]

Oh thats good news Nina, hope she's doing ok. I can't believe how many cards have been sent to you!! I really hope you raise loads.

[Eileen C]

Good luck to your mum. She's probably feeling a bit rough right now, but will be much better in a day or two. It's great to hear that she's being very positive about her treatment, that will help her cope with the grotty bits and look forward to the better bits.

Thoughts and prayers with you all

Eileen

P.S Glad you like the cards!

[tigerlady]

Cards on their way.

[NellieBones]

Sent mine this morning, Nina, they should be with you tomorrow.

[Kell]

Just posted mine hopefully you'll get them tomorrow. If you have another event I'll gladly send some more. I've ran out of card blanks so I couln't send as many as i would have liked. Still I hope they help towards your fundraising.

[doodlexyz]

If your still after cards, can you pm me your address and I'll make a few for you ove rthe weekend :)

My mil died of breast cancer, so always willing to help any cancer charitys!

[BRLD]

I may have a few I can dig out - I won't have time to make any new ones, but I'm sure I have some already made that I don't need.

If you PM me your address I can have a look tonight.

[Troubled1]

So sorry to hear about your mum, hope that she is feeling a bit better today!! My Nan went through breast cancer at 74, she is a healthy 83 year old now :rolleyes: I wish your mum all the love in the world whilst on this tough journey xx

If you send me your addy I willtry and do some cards this weekend.

Love Tracey xxxxx

[Acidburnrosie]

with the amount of cards coming through and with some parcels not named, im got really confused as to whos sent what:wub: ....but thanks to Kirky, Anne P, plus anyone else who has sent parcels through. I will count them up later and update the tally.

I need to say a special thanks to Nelliebones who has sent an amazing 72 cards plus a few other bits to sell......thank you so much....:wub:

My mum is doing really well after the masectomy and is now at home.....i took all the cards up yesterday for her to look at and she was amazed....she liked some of them so much that she has bought some herself:D Mum said to say thank you for all your generosity. We now have to wait for 2 weeks to see how much the cancer had spread within the boob. She also has to have a bone and liver scan to make sure that the cancer hasnt entered anywhere else......She should start her chemo after the 18th of November (she wants to go to my grad ball with her own hair) but has said that she wants a tartan wig as she has been thinking of dying her hair:lol: (she wants to grow old disgracefully:lol:

[SarahYoo]

Glad the cards got to you Nina:D

Good to hear your Mum is recovering from the operation, and that she hasn't lost her sense of humour and fun - tartan wig:lol: :lol: :lol:
Hope the scan results are clear for her....:wub:

Sarah x

[Giavanna]

Your mum sounds like a very brave lady - they say thats half the battle won when fighting cancer. Wish her all the luck in the world

[juliadunnit]

We're having ticker discussions like that on our team thread - lucky we don't set our diaries to them!!

[Acidburnrosie]

Thank you....i think we will have enough bags (i have got some as well)

I may not update the boards till next week cause im going on holiday...my mum will be popping into my house and will pick up any cards and keep a tally of how many have been sent through so that i can update it when i get back. We have now sold over £40 worth of the cards....so a HUGE thank you to all who have sent in so far......

[ambermouse]

I will post some cards tomorrow if you PM me your addy Nina

[Acidburnrosie]

No its not til next saturday...thank you!!!

[Kell]

GOOD LUCK for the weekend hope it goes really well and you sell everything! :)
How much are they selling for? just being nosey as you said you'd made £40 and was wondering how many you'd sold. Will you have another with your leftovers or give them to charity? Again I'm nosey!:D

Hope your mum is feeling a lot better too.

Oh and I read in a mag that beetroot is really good for turning cancer cells back to normal, not something I heard before. So I thought I'd share it with you all.

[Jimjams]

Best of luck with the sale - hugs to you and your mum :love:

[Pat]

Best of luck Nina. Posted my cards last week. Hope they arrived alright.
(((((((hugs))))))) to you and your mum.

[Acidburnrosie]

Mum has said that other cards have arrived but i wont know who from until i get home. We already have another stall planned in a couple of weeks so any remaining cards will be sold then...we have sold most of the cards for £2.00 and some for £2.50 (we thought that it was better to sell them all than have loads left over).....:D


I will tell my mum that beetroots good for her....luckily she loves the stuff!!!:lol:

[dancingfrog]

Hope all goes well for Saturday

Hiya all...thanks to ladies that send cards in while i was away......altogether with the raffle, tambola and cards we have raised £386 (ithink the card sales were around the £100 mark). Mum will go through the actual figures tomorrow with me. We do have another sale of cards planned for the end of November so hopefully we will sell lots more then.

Some of you may know that i made my mum a mini book to show that we are all thinking of her...she has put everyone of the letters/cards sent with the cards in there too....she really does appreciate all the kind words and good luck vibes that you have sent....Thank you so much.....


I will keep everyone updated with the amount of cards sold.....

:wub::wub::wub:

[tigerlady]

I've only just caught up with this but Well Done with the sale and amount raised. I hope that your Mum is doing well.

[Acidburnrosie]

Hello everyone...just a quick update.....

Mums doing fine, she had her first lot of chemo on Monday and apart from feeling a little tired she has had no other symptoms...which is really good (although she does realise that it could be totally different the next time). Her liver scan came back clear and her bone scan showed one hotspot on her t12 (thoracic vertebra) however 3 years ago mum crushed the one so they think it is just that showing...they sent her for a full MRI scan 2 yesterday (normally you have to wait months but mum got yet another cancellation !!) just to make sure.

We are having another sale on Sunday when our town switches on its christmas lights so hopefully we will raise lots of money again....and i will post to say how much...

Mum has asked me to say a huge thank you for all the get well wishes, the cards, and the support she feels she is getting from all of you ladies...it really does mean alot to her. She has also told me to say that every letter that has been sent in with the cards, she has keep in her memory box and when she is feeling a little low she gets them out for a read...

She is really determined to beat her cancer and all those messages have helped her to be very positive...so for that i thank you from the bottom of my heart.....

Would it be alright with everyone if there are any cards left over that i donate them to the sponser who is also raising funds for BCC....that way they wont just be sitting in a box...

[Janice]

So glad to hear that your Mum is doing ok :D

I think that is a great idea for the cards to be passed on - much better than having them sitting around getting dusty etc.

:D :D Keep us posted on your mum's progress and I hope the Scan goes well :D

She is really determined to beat her cancer and all those messages have helped her to be very positive...so for that i thank you from the bottom of my heart.....

Would it be alright with everyone if there are any cards left over that i donate them to the sponser who is also raising funds for BCC....that way they wont just be sitting in a box...

That's fine by me. Give your mum my best wishes, she sounds such a brave lady. I check back regularly to see how you are all doing. Good luck for Saturday - I hope it all goes well.

Fine by me as well Nina. Glad your mum is feeling better.

Yep me too, after all we sent them in to raise funds for breast cancer charities. Tell your mum to rest loads and let others do things for her as much as she can cope with - its difficult when you're used to doing things yourself but she has to be good, she needs her energy to recover. Sending her hugs.

fine by me too. Love to your mum:love:
