Forego another Friday for the Friends
Dearest Friends, Family and followers of our fight with cancer,
WAAAHOOO, stop the press, we have received the most amazing news this week. In short, Paula has had a delayed response to the Keytruda treatment. Her cancer has stopped growing, some larger spots have reduced in size and some smaller spots have disappeared completely. As you can imagine this news has turned our world upside down following the previous set of results that showed progression in the cancer. Our doctors have put this late response down to Paula having a slower than usual immune system, but now that it has responded the news can only get better. With immunotherapy, unlike conventional treatment, once the patient’s own immune system activates the sky really is the limit.
So to all of you who have donated towards our fight, you are all life savers, pat yourselves on the back and accept a huge hug from us. You are our heroes and we would not have been able to do this without your help. Your generosity has given Paula and our family a second chance and for that you will be forever in our hearts.
Paula will re-start Keytruda this week and all going to plan will continue to receive treatment for another 2 years with the end result being, hopefully, complete remission. This brings us back to the original plan at a cost of $90,000. Many people have already asked how they can help us, so we have reopened this page to allow further contributions and will continue to fundraise towards the target which will take Paula through to our goal.
You have all given so much and for that we are truly grateful, as we have begun to win the fight. If you choose to forego another Friday in order to provide Paula with a lifetime of Fridays, our family would again be eternally thankful for your support.
Love and hugs to you all
David, Paula and Liam xxx
