Samies choriocarcinoma Fight
Pukekohe, Auckland
Never in a million years I thought I'd be the one writing this at 26 years old.. but I am reaching out because life has thrown me a serious curveball. I’ve just been diagnosed with stage 4 choriocarcinoma, a super rare aggressive placenta cancer and then thought it’d be fun to take a wee detour and matatisized in my lungs.
Trust me I know this news is… a lot.
Earlier this year, I had a rare complete molar pregnancy that led to a whirlwind of surgeries, complications, Almost bleeding out and on top of that needing two more surgeries 1 day apart.
I am already a bit of a medical “frequent flyer.” I’ve got a whole playlist of chronic illnesses that keep me busy. Including chronic autoimmune diseases and so on. These keep me busy enough juggling medications, treatments, and doctors on the regular, hearing I have cancer has added a whole new spanner into the works.
I really thought I’d hit my drama quota for the year but obviously not 🚫 😫
As I start treatment for this aggressive cancer, I could really use some extra support. The costs of fuel to specialists visits, alternative medicine and holistic healing treatments, accommodation and regular life are piling up, and it’s honestly a bit overwhelming,
Any donation, big or small, sharing this post, leaving a comment or sending me a message would mean the world to me.
Thanks so much for reading my story and for being here to help me kick cancer’s arse

What a journey it’s been.
Over the last 183 days, I’ve truly been to hell and back. If something could go wrong, it probably did — at almost every stage. But through it all, the support I’ve received has been absolutely overwhelming.
I’m so incredibly thankful to my family — I honestly can’t thank them enough, and I don’t think words could ever truly capture just how much they mean to me.
This whole experience has taught me so much about gratitude. At the end of the day, I’m just so thankful to still be here, cracking jokes and being my usual, slightly unhinged self.
Here’s to the next chapter. Whatever it holds, I know the universe is doing exactly what I need her to do.
Thanks Ray ♥️
