Kind regards Terri's Story When Terri suffered a seizure after nine months of persistent back pain, her doctors knew something wasn't right. An urgent MRI revealed the worst case scenario - Terri had brain cancer. After undergoing two surgeries, Terri continues to receive ongoing treatment once a fortnight at the Albury Base Hospital, which is located 160km from her family home. Terri and her family need somewhere comfortable to stay close to Terri’s treating hospital, and have found that for the past three years at Fight Cancer Foundation’s accommodation centre, Hilltop.
