Please help our Dad receive life extending and hopefully saving drugs to treat his Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer

Hawke's Bay

Our wonderful Dad has been struck out of the blue with a devastating discovery that he has Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer which has mestastized to his liver. He is so healthy and hale, it has really hit us out of nowhere.

There are some amazing new drugs/treatments (immunotherapy Keyruda and Car T cells, cryoablation and SIRT, RFA and chemo embolization) and studies (clinical trials testing newly developed drugs that aren't currently on the market) that have been done that could be successful in prolonging Dads life. These drugs are not publically funded in New Zealand and are really expensive.

Dad, his wife Mairi and us six children would so appreciate any help you can give to aid in fighting this horrible disease.

Any money donated will go towards these life saving drugs.

Thank you so much from all the Bristows xo

This is my Dad Matthew and I am doing everything I can to raise funds and do research into the latest options of dealing with this horrible disease. Thank you so much for your help.

Use of funds

The use of the funds you have so kindly donated will go towards buying the incredibly expensive new drugs that will shrink and hopefully kill his Pancreatic Cancer. This will also help with Oncologist fees and surgery. Thank you so much!
