    Hello to all who are following Kiri's journey.

    Kiri starts radiation treatment for the second brain tumour this coming Wednesday 26th June 2024. The radiation zaps will be done over a 5 day period.

    We are all hoping this will be successful for her, to avoid having to have more brain surgery.

    Kiri is keeping in good spirits, despite the headaches, nausea, lack of sleep and multiple medications she is on.

    She continues to make the most of every day, hour by hour, although most everyday things leave her exhausted afterwards.

    We thank you all for continuing to support Kiri to receive her treatments and allow her more time with her family and friends. She really is a remarkable woman.

    Many thanks,

    Jo

  • Tumor number 2

      17 June 2024

    Kiri's specialists have opted to go ahead with trying radiation to treat Kiri's new brain tumor. She will still be needing immunotherapy for her lung cancer.

    This means many trips over the next couple of weeks to St George's in Christchurch.

    We will post further updates once Kiri has started her immunotherapy again, and the brain tumor has been treated over the 5 day radiation cycle period ahead.

    Thank you to those of you who have generously donated to Kiri so far, and to those of you who have helped by sharing her page. She and her family are very grateful.

    Please continue to show support by sharing the page to others, asking them to donate or to share as well.

    Cheers,

    Johanna Tawharu
