An Auckland ceramicist who survived breast cancer three years ago has been diagnosed with brain cancer and has 10 brain tumours.
A Givealittle page has been set up for Renee Boyd, whose work is well known throughout New Zealand, after she suffered a brain seizure and blacked out in her pottery studio a few weeks ago.
Boyd said in a statement the diagnosis was the worst-case scenario as there is no cure and she has few, perhaps six months to live.
"I'm just taking everything day by day, hour by hour."
She's currently taking medication and has had an injection in her stomach to help bring about menopause, she said, as it's an estrogen/progesterone cancer from her breast.
