Cherie - Mum of two with cancer needs your help!

Cherie found out she had cancer a couple of years ago, and straight away, she started to receive chemotherapy. This has been very hard on Cherie and her two children, who haven't known what is in store and each time she gets a check up, she is told things have either slightly improved or not changed at all.

Unfortunately, on her last check up, Cherie was told that the chemotherapy is no longer working and her last treatment option is pemigatinib which is a target medication towards the type of cancer that is causing her trouble (bile duct). As the cost is $7,272.50 per three weeks and not publicly funded, her oncologist lodged a special request through pharmac which was declined. This broke Cherie's heart as she simply can't afford the ongoing costs of treatment.

The constant health issues that come with chemotherapy are leaving Cherie exhausted and causing great pain for her family who are struggling to see her so unwell.

If you can help Cherie start this treatment - ($126,468.775 for a full year), her family - and particularly her two children, would get their lives back. Anything helps! Give this family the hope to spend a healthy Christmas together next year and a future that is positive and life giving!
