Jason has started his first round of Chemo drugs yesterday!!!! The drug is called Encorafenib/binimetinib. Our very kind mother and father have paid for Jason's first round.

Jason and Kylie and family are so delighted for this opportunity and are feeling very hopeful for these tumours to shrink. If Jason successfully takes to this drug. Jason will require 5 more months of the Encorafenib/binimetinib which is $10,520 per month. After the 5 months of treatment and $52,600.00 the chemo drug Encorafenib/binimetinib is then provided free from the New Zealand health care system.Your kind donations and generosity is truly appreciated. Let's see this drug make a positive impact to Jasons life expectancy.

Jason had to be transferred Wellington Hospital on Thursday 16th Feb to potentially undergo spinal surgery to remove part/some of his tumours to prevent him from being paralysed and lessen pain due to encroachment of spinal nerves.

Unfortunately due to where his tumours are located - the spinal surgery is no longer an option for him.

To give Jason any chance of survival and comfortable rest of his short life with his family the only treatment the specialists have recommended is a drug called Ipilimumab which is not funded by the New Zealand Government. Each dose of Ipilimumab (Jason requires x4 doses) is $27,378 = Total $109,503. This treatment is urgently required for him to have any quality of life in his final months – 1 year expectancy.
