20yr Jade has cancer. Jade was diagnosed with testicular cancer which has spread. Past fundraiser needs a hand to replace what cancer took
Waikato
20 yr old Jade was. Independent. Flating. Working. Caring young man unknowingly had cancer while raising money for cancer support with shave for the brave.
Now.. well into his own cancer journey.
Back at hospital for number 4 .week long.. hard chemo session, followed by 2nd surgery,
Jade is needing to live at home, for support and help with everyday things, never a complaint, but has no money left, few clothes as we had to relocate him urgently from south to north islands.
He had spent his savings for studying on very basic living, when he got to sick to work, and not wanting to worry his family till he had a diagnosis, he was house bound and very sick when we got to him. Had urgent surgery then we relocated him and he started his chemo journey.
We have helped him financialy as much as we are able.
He now needs new glasses and clothes,as well as
no money left for him to consider studying at the end of what we hope is a positive out come .
Jade has worked hard since leaving school for his goal of studying for a bachelor in I.T and was booking flights when he was diagnosed.
For those that know Jade and wanted to know how to help, a small donation would be great for both his spirit and sense of independence. AND A VERY BIG THANKYOU to those that have already helped with both the beginning of his journey to bring him home and till now ,we feel really blessed .
Aiming to give Jade back some control over a part of his life and help replace the savings and future plans his cancer has taken away..
,for now.
It costs $7000 for the first year of the course in Dunedin
We are Jades family.
No more treatment needed at this stage 6 August 2015
Hi all We went to Jades first oncology appointment after his surgery and for the first time in 5 months no more treatment is needed at this stage.
Jade still has awhile to go for full recovery and hope he can eventually ditch his crutch for walking.
But it is a great relief for us all.
He gets a break of 3months before next hospital appointment which is so great for us all.
Thankyou once again for all the fantastic support. Both through this sight and off it.
We have tried a few different types of healing and have even said a few prayers which is not a usual thing in our household. Although we are aware a number of other people have been praying for him, including....A Parish of priests.
As I'm sure all you parents can understand. It has been a hard road watching your child no mater how old ,so sick and struggling.
Jades results came back and there was cancer debry from the tumor the chemo was aiming for plus a cancerous tumor removed and appendix and 4 lymph nodes. These lymph nodes came back clear which is great.
