'A shot at life with RIFE'. Tania desperately needs this RIFE machine to help prolong her life and manage symptoms of cancer. Please help!

Kaiapoi, Canterbury

Tania Bowen has 4 children, and a husband. She lives in Kaiapoi. In September 2022 Tania was misdiagnosed with diverticulitis and irritable bowel. Later that year Tania was re-diagnosed with bowel and liver cancer. Tania went in for an operation in Nov 2022 to remove cancerous tumor's, but they discovered they were too big to remove. In December Tania was diagnosed with 6 months to live without chemo or 9-12 months depending on whether the chemo works. Tania has had 12 rounds of chemo but the cancer has now spread to Tania’s left lung. Tania has opted for more chemo, this time stronger.

Tania is also trying alternative therapy, including the services of The Brilin centre. The Brilin centre offers holistic support for chronic illnesses. One of their recommendations for Tania is a RIFE machine. A RIFE machine delivers electromagnetic waves through the body and the idea is that you set it to the same frequency as the cancer to slow it down. It is an alternative treatment and something that Tania would like to try. Not only Tania can benefit from the use of this machine but her whole family too for stress, fatigue, tiredness, body aches and so on. These machines are not cheap which is why we need to raise some funds quick!

Tania’s goal is to live! And she is determined to do so. “We’re all in a waiting room, anyone can go at any time, but when you get given a timeframe it’s different. I am willing to try anything to extend my time on this earth”. Tania Bowen.

I am the niece of Tania, and like many family members I just want to do something to help.

Use of funds

The money will be spent on a RIFE machine and any extra on general expenses that the family have had to endure. The cost of a RIFE machine is $11,000.00. If we do not raise enough the money will be put towards costs of keeping Tania comfortable while she continues her battle with cancer.

A shot at life with RIFE!  8 September 2023

**** UPDATE****

Thankyou SOOOOOO much for all the tautoko so far e te whānau, we have done amazing things in just one week!!!

Our goal is 11K - we reach this and we can purchase the machine!!!!! We are so so close!!!

Aunty Tania is currently in hospital and has been since last Sunday, due to this a long awaited trip away with uncle Barry has sadly had to be cancelled 😞😭

Results from a scan last week show that chemo hasn't worked again, she also now has blood clots in her leg that has a fracture. Also, thinners that she is taking have caused bleeding internally.

The events of the last week show that we really need to get this machine ordered ASAP - we can do it!!!! If you could please share our page to your whānau and friends it would be greatly appreciated :)

We love you Aunty Tarn 💜💜💜
