Fundraising page to help Steve fight cancer
Pakaraka, Northland
We were given the news today that Steve's stage 4 metastatic melanoma is spreading and his current treatment by itself is no longer working. There is one drug (Ipilimumab) available, this drug is unfunded and comes at a cost of over $100,000. There is a 25% chance of this helping and we want to do all we can to raise the money to try this drug.
We hope at any time a clinical trial may pop up and that Steve could get on one as another option but there is nothing at the moment. So we will continue to fight this cancer and while Steve is feeling good we want to enjoy and make happy memories with our children.
We lost our eldest daughter Billee to cancer in 2009 she was 5 years old and we were given no other options but to take her home, this time we can try!
Through all the trials and tribulations life has thrown our way we have never given up, we carry on and somehow find strength to fight another day. Steve has a big heart and has in the past raised money for family and friends that have been on similar journeys. We can do this with your help, any koha to reach our goal will be greatfully accepted.
