      How are you getting on Charla - well I hope? My brother has exon-20, and we're looking at Sunvozertinib (via China) or Firmonertinib, or Amivantamab (if we can raise enough!) as more effective for this mutation. If you'd like to share info by email let me know cherieontheroad - gmail.

  • Charla needed surgery in January

    After an awesome camping holiday with her dear Cory, Charla got very unwell and needed emergency surgery to remove her appendix. As you can imagine that was a tough time. On the mend now, Charla is still battling away with conventional chemo as we fund raise for the more promising medication. Charla's fundraising committee (CFU) are planning a very cool family event in March as a fundraiser, keep an eye out for more information soon...

  • video - Charla talking about her Nursing role

      23 December 2023

    Check out this video of Charla on the youtube channel Nurses of Aotearoa, especially 8:42 mins into the video when she speaks about her courage to return to her specialty after being seriously assaulted at work - not only did she return but she returned to being the key nurse of the person who assaulted her. Charla is an inspiration!
