Healing treatment for Ema Margaret Tolua Siope

$3,466 donated
Given by 28 generous donors in around 9 months

I have cancer in my bones. I have also been given 6months to a year. But I am going to fight and get my health back and I need your help.

Auckland

I have been diagnosed with breast cancer that has metastasized to bones. I was given 6months to a year in January this year. To prolong my life, I am embarking on a series of integrated treatments offered in the US and in NZ. These treatments are expensive and beyond my means but I believe they are also my best shot at extending my life.

Faumuina Felolini Tafunai's involvement (page creator)

I am doing this fundraiser for Ema because I love her - she is my sister, my skipper, my friend and one of the special "whaea" to my son Oliver. The generosity, love and kindness she has shown to me and my family, and the hundreds, possibly thousands of people is testimony of her love for people not things. She has constantly put others before her, and now is her time.

Use of funds

The money would go towards cancer treatment. Dr Sunil Pai is my head doctor from the House of Sanjevani Integrative Medicine Health & Lifestyle Centre in Albuquerque. The costs are travel, consultation: $360USD, Supplements $500USD, CBD products $500USD, ozone therapy $500USD. Then back to NZ for treatment with Dr Wayne McCarthy, for: ultraviolet blood irradiation alternated with ozonated saline drips. UV is $400, the ozonated saline $350 with up to 8 treatments over 2 weeks, Supplements $500.

Healing update from Ema  6 September 2017

Thank you all for your sacrifices that you have made in order to donate towards my healing journey. Last January. doctors said I'd be lucky to make it to September ... then this year they said again in January that I would be lucky to make it to June. Hello August! The treatments they offer are debilitating and palliative. Last December I could barely get from the bed to the toilet. Now I am off all the pharmaceuticals and life couldn't be better ... I am still researching of course to find how to enhance wellness over disease. I am due back in NZ in September. I look forward to catching up with you all. God bless and see you all soon.
