Kia ora an update for everyone, firstly thank you so much for your support. Rakau and the family are just blown away and so thankful they can't believe it. This has really given Rakau and the family a boost knowing there is so much support for him. Thank you again, so appreciated.
The official meeting took place on Friday last week where a medical team of 5 told Rakau he had 4 to 12 weeks and explained the discharge plans etc. It was a horrible meeting. To his credit he did not flinch, was solid as a Rock, so proud of him! Kia Kaha.
Last week a very generous person kindly leant his Maseraiti so that Rakau could enjoy being taken for a drive around Orewa and Silverdale where one of his treaments took place. It was a surprise. When we picked him up, the smile on his face was priceless!. (Of course he wanted to drive!) Thank you so much Chris. A quick trip to the movies on the weekend to watch Fast 9 was pretty cool too.
He has been fully discharged and is now home and is going great.
We have seen a 2nd specialist for a 2nd opinion and unfortunately cannot help. Brisbane is not available for this condition and the drugs we have been applying for are not cures. We are now currently communicating with specialists in Singapore also.
However, his strength is incredible, he still gets tired quickly throughout the day but he's sticking to his Alkaline food program and getting to appointments such as his Vitamin C infusions, Reflexiology, Herbalist / Naturopaths and others.
The money raised from everyone is being used for these treatments and without this support this would not be possible as a lot of these treatments are twice weekly and not possible for him monetary wise. We cannot thank you enough.
Through research and meeting very special and kind giving people who have themselves shared their experiences of winning their own terminal cancers have given us so much hope! Which is critical for Rakau and the whanau's journey. Thank you Tanya. The whanau have put all this information together and have decided to go down a natural journey. The beautiful people sharing their positive successes and research we have found gives Rakau and us strength. Rakau can be visited also.
Again we thank you so much for your support! and please continue to share Rakau's story he is a true warrior and refuses to give up no matter what the odds.
