Supporting 6 year old Harvey through his recover from Wilms cancer and chemo journey.
Whakatane, Bay Of Plenty
Harvey is a bubbly energetic almost 6 year old boy who lives in Whakatane and attends Apanui school. He formally went to Little Orchard Preschool on McGarvey road. About 2 weeks ago Harvey developed a large mass on his stomach while he had strep throat. Initially this mass was thought to be related to the strep and that it was his spleen which was enlarged, but with antibiotics it was not going away so Harvey then had to have an ultrasound. This is when the nightmare begun. Harvey's spleen is fine but the mass was a large tumor coming from his kidney. Harvey has been diagnosed with Wilm cancer (which is a rare kidney cancer). Harvey has spent the last week in Auckland hospital getting tumor removed and is recovering from being virtually cut in half. Harvey now needs to begin his journey with chemotherapy

Harvey has completed his chemo and had an Mri and CT this week to see where we are at. Cody and I are ecstatic to announce our little boy has beaten cancer and is now in remission ❤️ We still have a long journey ahead with 3monthly scans for the next 3 years atleast but for now we are celebrating the wins! I am hoping this will be my last update for you all. Once again we thank you all so much for your kind messages and generous donations, we really couldn't have done it without you ❤️
