Raising funds to pay for Suzanne's cancer treatment
Auckland
Sometimes people have to put their dignity aside and ask for help and this is one of those times.
My beautiful partner Suzanne has been diagnosed with breast cancer and while some of the treatment is funded, one of the drugs (pertuzumab) is not and is estimated to cost $25,000. She also won't be able to work while receiving treatment and having surgery, for potentially 8 months or more.
The last thing I want is for her to have the worry and stress of the financial burden this will place on her and our family. She needs to focus on getting better and kicking this things ass!!
It's not easy to ask others for help, but why have friends if we can't help each other out, right!
Suzanne is my partner and is the toughest, bravest person I know!
Non funded chemotherapy -pertuzumab
Loss of income while getting treatment and surgery -mortgage, bills, kids, life
Quick update 14 May 2024
Hi all, quick update. Since the first round of treatments last week Suz has been rolling through the various side effects, some tougher to deal with than others but she has stayed strong and handling them amazingly well. Hopefully she'll start feeling better each day now until the next infusions.
Thanks so much Marice and Shane, Love Mitch and Suzanne
