Hollies Cancer Treatment (Hollies Curesaiders)
Fundraising $500,000 to pay for my Cancer treatment in New Zealand
Nationwide
My name is Hollie, I am 33 years old and have been fighting stage 4 triple negative breast cancer since 2019.
I've already had to pay for an unfunded chemotherapy once before and need to do it once again, this time for a treatment that costs over $500,000nzd
This treatment is specifically made for my exact cancer and although it's made for people with the same rare and aggressive type of cancer as me, I can't access it in New zealand unless I pay for it myself.
The drug (Trodelvy) I am fundraising for is actually funded in Australia and the UK. so funds will either be used to have treatment at home in New zealand or to help us relocate Overseas
Use of funds
Funds will either be spent on treatment here in nz or to travel to Australia for the same treatment

Andy and I are very patiently waiting to hear weather or not pharmac will fund my Chemotherapy. While we are waiting I will try to stay in NZ for as long as possible. If for any reason the current treatment stops working we will have to pack up and leave for another country.
Trodelvy is funded in both the UK and Australia.
We still have no idea what 2023 will hold for us yet were just hanging on as long as possible to see weather the government will fund the drug. I've started the application process through pharmac but the website is terrible and they definitely don't make it easy to apply for funding. I feel like it's that way on purpose 😕
