Help Michele raise funds for the non funded treatment (Keytruda) for her lung cancer.

  • Good news for Michele...

      9 July 2018

    Well since our last update the page has jumped from $30K to $96K - who would have thought. Michele, Billy and family are really touched by all your generosity and really are lost for words. It just goes to show how loved and cherished Michele is to all of us - so thank you.

    Michele has now had 3 rounds of Keytruda and Chemotherapy. She has one more Chemo left and then will continue on Keytruda every 3 weeks. Chemo is really taking its toll on Michelle so she is glad for only one more round. Keytruda is a lot gentler on her and her body so that is good news. The next treatment for both is next week. However Michele has a very special week this week - she has a milestone birthday on Wednesday. The lovely people at the charity "Race for Life" are putting Michele and her family up at the Sebel West apartments in town on Thursday with all meals provided including a hot pool, a massage, spa and even her own bath for the day. Transport being no less than a limousine for the special lady and her family. She can't wait and since it is the week before her treatment she will be feeling good for the outing.

    And saving the best news to last..... after just 3 treatments her most recent CT scan showed that some of the tumors showed a 50% reduction. Lets hope this trend continues.

    Happy Birthday Michele from all of us xx

    Thank you all so much for your donations – Michele, Billy and family are lost for words and really touched by your support. In one week $30,000 was raised which is just outstanding. We still have a long way to go so please share this page far and wide as every donation no matter how small helps. Michele had her first chemo treatment last Monday 14th followed by Keytruda on Wednesday 16th May. Normally it can take quite a few weeks for both these drugs to start working but Michele is seeing a noticeable improvement already which is a really positive sign. She is only on this wonder drug Keytruda because of your donations and she really is grateful. We will keep you updated, but in the meantime please share this givealittle page far and wide.

      This is wonderful to hear. As a fellow keytruda user (kidney) it is great to hear that you are noticing a difference already.
