💙 Help Ettiene Fight Stage 4 Cancer with Strength, Dignity & Hope

My cancer journey began in December 2023 with kidney cancer. My right kidney was removed, but the cancer metastasized to both lungs, and another tumor was found this week on my adrenal gland. It’s now classified as Stage 4 advanced cancer.

After over a year of monitoring with 6 weekly CT scans, blood tests, and oncology visits, my family and I—alongside my medical team—have chosen to begin Double Immunotherapy treatment. It starts on November 18, 2025, and will continue every 3 weeks for 2 years. The first 3 months involve double doses, followed by a single dose based on progress. CT scans are to be done every 3 months to monitor treatment.

While the treatment is government-funded, the hidden costs are significant - to name some is fuel, parking, meals, mental health support for my family, and potential income loss if I’m hospitalized or run out of leave.

Immunotherapy can also cause serious side effects, including inflammation of the liver, lungs, skin, and stomach, which may require urgent care and additional treatment.

Your donation will help cover these costs and ease the burden on my family. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. If you can’t donate, sharing this page would mean the world to us.

As a husband and father of 3 children, I ask that you support me with this massive task lying ahead for me and my family. I am positively going to beat this disease hands down.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

With gratitude
