WE NEED YOUR HELP to pay for this treatment for Damon a much loved family man, brother, son and friend to give him more time with us all.

Auckland

My awesome brother in law Damon Jacobs has just celebrated three years successful treatment of Metastatic Her2 positive Adenocarcinoma ( a very aggressive form of cancer ) He has endured many rounds of chemo, several operations, radiation and 68 Herceptin treatments. This is no longer working and he needs our help!

He now desperately needs a drug called Cetuximab which is not funded and has been recommended for this form of cancer and is the key to helping him stick around for as long as possible.

Damon has said to me " The total cost of the drug exceeds $20k and Damon is not one to ask for help especially as he knows it's a crazy time of year for everyone."

I am Damon’s sister-in-law.When we found out that Damon was so sick we were all devastated. Damon is such an amazing guy and has so much to live for. The best possible chance of him having such precious time with us all is him having Cetuximab treatment.
