We have set up this page to support our dear friend Renee who is going through something no new mother should ever have to encounter.

Canterbury

Hi family, friends and lovely kind people who are reading this.

Renee was diagnosed with Stage 1 cervical cancer when she was 36 weeks pregnant with her boy Wolf. Having a baby and partner to love is something Renee has always dreamed of, therefore, to have this happen at such a special time in her life is something most of us could never truly comprehend.

At 37 weeks pregnant Wolf was born via C-section which was then immediately followed by major life saving surgery to remove the tumour, her reproductive organs and lymph nodes. She continued on to have radiation treatment. After this she was given the green light that she was in remission.

Exactly one year later just before Wolfs first birthday, Ren landed in the emergency department with what was thought to be pneumonia. It was uncovered there was a mass on her lungs, and she was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.

The diagnosis was not taken lying down. Ren told the oncologist to get F$&@# % you don’t know me and what I’m capable of, I will be treated and I will beat this. We Know Ren will do exactly that. Once Renee finishes her 6th round of Chemo, she is planning on going to Mexico for alternative treatment.

You cannot put a price on your life, you cannot put a price on the time with your family, and we as friends cannot put a price tag on hearing the “rock” speech or snuggling into her Himalayas again.

We know so many want to help Renee, Toby and Wolf So let's all join together to say get f@&$#% to Ren's cancer.

Renee, is a dear friend of ours who I have had a pleasure of being friends with since high school.

Use of funds

NZ is limited on what they can offer which is why she needed to look elsewhere and from the testimonials we can see that this next treatment plan has had great success with others. Details on the treatment centre can be found here https://hope4cancer.com/

All funds raised will go towards getting Renee to hope4cancer regardless of goal being reached
