AID FOR ADE
Raising funds for my fathers cancer treatment
Helensville, Auckland
My father Adrian has been diagnosed with stage 4 Oesophagus cancer an agressive form of cancer often found in its later stages. After being given more information by his oncologist we have been recommended immunotherapy also known as Keytruda.
Keytruda is extremely effective at significantly extending Oesophagus cancer sufferer's lives. The benefits vary from patient to patient. We are extremely lucky that my dad Adrians physiology is particularly suited to respond in a positive way to Keytruda.
The bad news is that whilst Keytruda is funded for some forms of cancer Pharmac do not at this point in time fund it for Oesophagus cancer. The cost of a treatment programme is $80,000
My dad is my world, the rock of our entire family and my life. He has been a wonderful role model to myself, brother Ieuan and his 3 grandchildren Ayla, Iver and Olivia. He has served in the military for 26+ years, committing his time not only to his family but to his country including British and New Zealand Air force.
I have set up this page to attempt to raise the funds for this treatment to help my dad and our family, If we get more so much the better as this will eliviate any extra stress at this time on our family.

Hello again everyone 💛
Dad had his second round of immunotherapy and chemotherapy today, Seems to be less immediate side affects this time although apparently he is sounding like he would after a good night out at liberty brewery in the ville, due to pins and needles from the chemo 🤣 🍻 . Looks like this is score 2 to dad, Timmy 0. We would like to say a massive heartfelt thank you again to everyone who has supported, shared and donated during this time. It has been a huge morale booster 💛
Dad would like to finish this update by simply saying"West up" 👊
