Help Teawapuni's Battle with Cancer
Help support Teawapuni (34 year old, dad) and his battle with Cancer.
Manawatu / Whanganui
On Monday evening, 29 June 2020, Our much loved fiance, dad, brother, brother in-law, son, friend, cousin, nephew, grandson, and uncle Teawapuni (34 Years Old), was suddenly diagnosed with Lymphoma (Cancer) at Palmerston North Hospital and was admitted soon after he was told. A biopsy to sample his bone marrow and surgery to remove a lymph node for testing took place the same week. Preliminary results confirmed it did not reach his bone marrow.
Tuesday 7 July it was confirmed he has Hodgkin's Lymphoma (Stage 4). His specialist advised that he is still young, and there's a chance this can be treatable so was suggested that Teawapuni have a PET Scan Wednesday 8 July at Bowen's Hospital, Wellington. The very next morning, and with his confirmed diagnosis results, his first cycle of chemotherapy started at Palmerston North Hospital.
At this stage his chemotherapy is every two weeks for 6 months.
With all the support and positive thoughts, he is more than determined to fight this illness with all he has and be able to see his daughter (6 years old) grow for many years to come.
