Support Tanya to get the treatment she needs for stage 3 grade 3 breast cancer. Helping to pay for unfunded treatment to save Tanya's life

Blockhouse Bay, Auckland

Tanya is a 49 year old mother of 3 children and 2 grandchildren and amazing friend of many. After an already devastating year and losing her father to cancer and her close friend to a heart attack Tanya was unfortunately diagnosed with Stage 3 Grade 3 aggressive breast cancer. She has a large high grade, non - luminal HER2 positive tumor that is growing rapidly and already at 6cm. Unfortunately the best cancer treatment that Tanya needs to fight this terrible disease is not funded at all leaving Tanya to have to find a way to pay for it. This chemotherapy treatment called Pertuzumab is at a starting cost of $45,000 just to begin the process and increases Tanya's survival rate immensely and the percentage of the cancer re- acurring by 80%. Tanya will also have to have a mastectomy, hormone therapy, radiation and chemotherapy for the rest of the year. Tanya has already started alternative treatment in the meantime that has had some toxic and bad response to her already weak body. She is still fighting positively everyday and will try every option that is available to her until she has won her fight against cancer.

We will do everything we can to get Tanya the treatments that she needs to survive to be there for her family

Tanya is everything a friend should be. Rare and hard to find, please help us as it would break my heart to lose her. She still has so much to give to so many

Use of funds

The money will be spent on chemotherapy/targeted therapy (Pertuzumab) with additional alternative vitamin c infusions to get rid of this cancer

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
