Help Ben Hutton Fight Cancer a fourth time.

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for the ongoing love, messages, and support for Ben and our family.

Recent scans have shown that Ben’s Ewing sarcoma has spread to his pancreas. The tumour is large (12.6 cm x 7.3 cm x 8 cm) and appears to have grown significantly within just over a month, making this a complex and serious situation.

Ben’s CT scan has also shown suspicious fluid in his abdomen (ascites). Ascites is a build-up of fluid that has been causing Ben pain, bloating, and discomfort, making it harder for him to eat and maintain his strength. The scan has also identified small nodes near the bowel, which are still being investigated.

Ben is currently in hospital receiving specialist care focused on managing pain and symptoms while further investigations are underway. He is waiting for an endoscopic biopsy to confirm the nature of the pancreatic tumour. In New Zealand, only a small number of specialised surgeons can perform this procedure, resulting in an anxious wait.

The funds raised will help us explore specialist care options overseas and support Ben’s quality of life and comfort during this incredibly challenging time.

Ben continues to show incredible strength, and we are deeply grateful for every message, share, and donation.

With love and gratitude,

The Hutton family.
