Mann is a retired farmer with three children and one grandson. These days she is very busy looking after her 3-year-old grandson while his parents work at a construction site.
About four years ago, she noticed a mass forming on her cheek. Since then, she has been afraid to see a doctor, but her family finally convinced her to seek help. During her consultation, Mann was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. She currently experiences discomfort and occasional bleeding.
When Mann learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On March 2nd, surgeons at CSC will perform an excision of the mass and skin flap procedure to to help her feel comfortable again and stop the risk of cancer spreading. Now, she needs help to fund this $673 procedure.
Mann shared that after surgery she hopes to go back home and resume taking care of her grandson without worrying about her face or cancer.

Mann underwent surgery to remove cancer.
Mann and her youngest son traveled to Children’s Surgical Centre for her surgery. Doctors removed the cancerous tissue and used a skin flap to help her heal. Prompt treatment was vital for Mann because if the tumor had continued to grow, it could become more dangerous. She is hopeful the skin graft will cover the defect and it will heal well within several weeks. She is happy to be rid of the pain and looks forward to resuming her full life.
Mann shared: “I am so thankful that I was able to receive this treatment. My experience at Children’s Surgical Centre was good, and I am happy my family told me to go.”
