One drug that is recommended for fighting Aroha's type of breast cancer isn't publicly funded – let's get it for her!!

Bay of Plenty

Kia ora koutou katoa,

Our darling Aroha is working hard to kick breast cancer in the butt!! She has many wonderful specialists that have put together the best plan for her chemotherapy and radiation treatment which will start in a couple of weeks, and she's been working hard to learn what other things to do with regards to her kai, and surrounds to be in the healthiest space possible.

We have just learnt that there is one chemotherapy drug (Pertuzumab) that the oncologist recommends for fighting her type of cancer, that isn't covered by public funding. They would like to be able to give her 4 doses of it... but it's spendy: $5,000 per dose.

Let's take this big stress away for Aroha and Moehewa, and pitch in to help them cover it so she's armed with the absolute best for winning this battle!!

Lillian Grace's involvement (page creator)

Kiri Nathan and I are running this page because Aroha is our soul sister and we want to help remove a big stress for her and Moehewa.

Use of funds

$20,000 will be spent on 4 doses of the chemotherapy drug (Pertuzumab) at about $5,000 per dose. Anything above that will go towards costs for things like heritage plants for her garden, and Ecostore products for her home, to get Aroha in the healthiest place!!
