Help us to help Sharlani and her whanau to fight this Cancer

I have decided to do this for a beautiful member of our Whānau. Sharlani has recently been diagnosed with a rare form of Cancer: Placental Site Trophoblastic Tumour. This has come as a massive shock to the family as Sharlani is a 34 year old young mother of five beautiful children, (plus another one she loves as her own) Demahrny (15) Khvalee'a (9) Rhythm-Rayne (8) and Avahrni-Rose (1) Unfortunately she lost her first born daughter Devahrnea in 2006 a few days after her birth. As you can imagine that was completely heart wrenching for Sharlani and her family. Family is of the utmost importance to Sharlani and even with this cancer diagnosis, her main concerns are her children. Sharlani lives for her babies and there wellbeing and as a mother the news is devastating!

Sharlani is the type of person that is there 100% for her family and friends and is not the type to ask for help or assistance. It is not something that comes easily to her. So with a little suggestion and gentle persuasion from family members Sharlani has allowed us to do this for her.

Almost immediately after diagnosis of Placental Site Trophoblastic Tumour, Sharlani was put on 12 hours chemotherapy planned over 16 weeks alongside immunotherapy (Keytruda). They will monitor her treatment and will alternate 4 hours one week and 12 hours the next. As you can imagine this takes it's toll on Sharlani and her children.
