My aunty Carol was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer but it was missed by Drs this page is to help raise funds and spread awareness for others.
Hawke's Bay, Hastings District
I’m sure we can all relate to this story in 1 way or another, most of us have had or know someone in our lives that have won and lost battles to this big ugly C word (cancer) this is a story of my aunty who is now going through her own battle and is determined to win the fight.
8 years ago my beautiful aunty carol was concerned as she noticed blood in her urine, she went to the dr several times for this issue only to finally be told that bleeding from the kidney just happens to some people, as the years went on her symptoms persisted as well as now having fatigue and back pain, so she went back to the dr 8 weeks ago and was sent off for a scan only to find that she had cancer in several locations and it had metastasised, she was diagnosed with stage 4 urothelial cancer, had the DR done a thorough examination prior, the cancer could have been caught in time before metastasising (spread).
Enfortumab vedotin medication works for this level of spread but at a cost of $30,000 a month
Carol lives alone with her 2 dogs and is a ECE teacher who is very passionate about her role in nurturing and teaching our young tamariki in their most important years of brain development and growth, she is always giving all she has which she has unfortunately had to stop.
our goal with give a little Page is to give back to carol and help with some of the financial burden of her life changing news, any help will be very much appreciated in return we will keep you all updated on her journey.
Nga Mihi ❤️
Carol is my aunty growing up she was my closest aunty we have so many amazing childhood memories and living afar I can’t be close so I am creating this page to help her on her journey with this battle as she was always there for me growing up.
Funds raised will go towards carols medical expenses, including Enfortumab vedotin, and living costs as she is unable to work, While she is grateful for the support from WINZ it’s only enough to cover her accommodation
