Kia ora Whānau!
We are supporting a friend and her family in her quest to be around for her family & live after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
In 2018 Fleur received the crushing diagnosis of having Stage 3 Rectal Cancer which was heartbreaking news. She underwent 25 brutal rounds of pelvic radiation and chemotherapy, followed by surgery to remove the cancer growth, and then another round of ‘clean-up chemo’ to eliminate any extra circulating tumour cells.
By the end of 2019 it looked promising that Fleur was on track to beat cancer. Unfortunately, a couple of months later she received the devastating news that the cancer had metastasized and was now Stage 4. Fleur was given the shocking terminal diagnosis of less than a year to live unless she committed to pay for the non-funded immunotherapy cancer treatment ‘Cetuximab’ at a cost of $70,000 annually. Without hesitation Fleur cashed in her Kiwisaver, Life Insurance and savings and has now privately paid over $200k.
However Fleur’s health has recently taken another turn and the disease has now advanced into her lungs. The oncology team have advised she must now immediately start ANOTHER non-funded immunotherapy cancer drug called Bevacizumab at another huge cost of $75,000 per cycle which they are confident she will respond to.
We now need your help to fund this next cycle of treatment as the family has been left exhausted both financially and psychologically. Fleur has given so much to her community, friends and family, and still has a huge amount of fight left in her, and it’s imperative that she has access to this treatment.
We have organised a 24hr live stream to help fundraise for her treatment.
We have amazing auctions & raffles on the website, including
bespoke coaching sessions with me, Mandy Suess.
