    I am reopening the page as Avastin did not work for cancer although your funds did help immensely as I was able to have NAB Paclitaxel. Thank you. I have been on NAB Paclitaxel for about three months. Normally paclitaxel is second line treatment for ovarian cancer, my type of cancer, but due to severe reaction to the solvents in the funded treatment it is imperative I have NAB paclitaxel which is not made from harmful solvents and not funded. NAB is helping to push my cancer markers down and keep me alive. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    A big thank you to those who have helped me reach just over $11,000. It is great to know I have so many friends and caring people helping at this really difficult time.

    A kind donor has given plants to be sold toward the cause and you can find these underneath this update. Look out for new ways to donate in the new year and more on that then.

    A link to my cause via an article and video can be found here in the NZ Herald and the Bay Of Plenty Times which featured on the front page of the Bay of Plenty Times printed edition this Monday as well. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty-times/video/mum-with-terminal-cancers-last-hope/YUOQ34IJJYCILHZWO5PRSUJPZM/

    If I don't update again before Christmas Have a great time and thank you all once more.
