Cancer Treatment Funding
Seeking funds urgently for overseas medical cancer treatment.
Howick, Auckland
We are reaching out reluctantly as we have been trying to keep this private and we do have Katrina Lowe's full permission to go this route.
At this stage funds have been raised only for the 1st week of treatment and to travel to Thailand. We are only wanting to raise funds for a small short fall only to have the treatment covered for the following 3 weeks at which time we hope to have other funds in place which will be enough to cover the remaining treatment program and we want to alleviate as much money stress as we can during this challenging time.
The treatment is chemotherapy, immunotherapy & vitamin C infusions at 'Verita Life Cancer Clinic' they offer alternative and conventional treatments which is all my sister has been asking for in New Zealand.
In 2020 my sister Katrina was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer since then she has been battling to beat this relentless disease and this may be her last chance.
Over the past 2 years she has been caught up in the failing New Zealand medical system where they have dropped the ball many times for her to not have faith in them any longer. So, this is the reason she has decided to travel urgently overseas to seek the medical treatment she requires.
Please help my sister if you can.

This is my sister, my mum’s daughter, my nephew's mother and my kids aunty. We don't want to loose her.
Use of funds
Verita Life Treatment cost $10k per week (which incidentally cost a lot less than her own country New Zealand was going to charge her). Katrina will be in treatment for 8 hours per day for 6-8 weeks at this stage.

Positive Update 😊 11 November 2022
Hi Everyone,
Sorry for leaving you in the dark for a bit, however I am pleased to now update all you amazingly generous souls with very positive news.
Although I’m still fighting to rid my body of this pesky decease, I’m also winning big time!!!
As some of you may know, I had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of Triple negative breast cancer, and after fighting it alternatively for almost two years, it had suddenly decided to take over my body rapidly.
I had been given a very grim outcome by oncologists and refered to hospice.
So to me this was a no brainer to get myself on a plane asap to attend Verita Life in Thailand, a country and an oncologist that was not going to give up on me … I WANTED TO LIVE🤷♀️ and refused to give into the fact I’d been given no hope to do so in my own country.
Although it was pretty hard at times, it was worth every cent and all the effort of fighting though the pain and fear.
After the 1st week I noticed big changes, my voice box seemed better, I could swallow better and the use of my arm was coming back, but mostly the pain had eased.
At the 6th week mark, I had my PET scan and it showed that over half of my tumors had completely gone, the larger more aggressive lesion’s/tumors had also shrunken dramatically i.e the tumor under my arm was 45mm (+) and is now only 2mm. I was dancing around my hotel room totally pain free and with full use of my arm and vocal cords (it hadn’t improved my singing ability unfortunately 🤷♀️🤣).
I unequivocally have you all to thank, for your support with your donations, kind words and faith in the alternative healing journey I had decided to take🙏❣️
So far this decision has benefited my health in more ways than one, I certainly feel like I’m 20 years old again with more energy than I know what to do with, and a positive mindset, that will carry me through to even more positive outcomes.
I’m now back in NZ, living my best life up North amongst nature and close to my alternative cancer clinic, where I will continue to heal, while organizing my Tiny home to live in. Life could not be better thanks to everyone that cared enough to get me here❣️
On 17th January I will have another PET scan that (fingers crossed) will show I’m either tumor free or still heading in the right direction.
It goes to show we all have options, and although I’m still healing, I want to now be able to pay if forward and help anyone else that might be going through this same scary journey, so if you, a freind or family member need to reach out for support or guidance, please feel free to contact me via email.
Love and gratitude to you all
Kat 😘😘😘😘
