Frances Thompson was diagnosed with bowel cancer last year and was recovering until another tumour was found in her liver. Katherine was sent to Christchurch from Southland for treatment, where she caught a fungal infection, a Givealittle page for the Thompson family said. "We cannot comprehend the pain and grief you are facing during this time," a post on the Givealittle page said. More than $14,000 had been donated by around 300 people in the 13 days since the Givealittle page was created.
