Christine's Cancer Treatment Journey

$18,920 of $50,000 goal
Given by 154 generous donors in around 3 months

Support Christine through her treatment journey to tackle stage 4 gastric cancer.

Te Kuiti, Waikato

Christine's stage 4 cancer diagnosis came out of the blue after a routine hospital procedure ended up triggering pancreatitis. After being send for a CT scan that showed liver abnormalities she then underwent and MRI and gastric biopsies which confirmed the worst news of advanced gastric cancer. Symptom free and hardly able to take in the crushing news.

This comes as a huge shock to Christine and her family. Christine is a loving Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, friend, business woman and well loved member of her community in Te Kuiti.

Christine will undergo chemotherapy along side of vitamin C treatments and other alternative treatments.

Please support Christine on her healing journey through a combination of Holistic therapies and private chemotherapy regime. She would love to spend time making memories with her Husband Rick, three children Emmah, Evie & Kaed, family and friends.
