James Journey - Help him see his kids grow up

James Pearks 47 & husband to Darlene has three beautiful children Xavier (15), Georgia (13) & Nate (9) we need your help to give him more time with his family.

In Jun 21 Xavier & Darlene noticed James looked like he was turning yellow & after tests James was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma (Bile duct cancer) a rare & aggressive cancer, James tumour was in his bile duct & was operable, James went into surgery 7th Sept 21 to remove ¾ of his liver and his gallbladder. James then started on 6 months chemo to hopefully ensure that the cancer had been removed.

They and their friend Rob continued to run their Homegrown Juice distribution business in Northland during this. But due to the diagnosis they had to sell this in Feb 22 leaving them with substantial debt but free of the responsibilities of running a business.

In April 22 James scan showed that his cancer was gone and he was all cleared, but in June 22 James abdomen started to swell & it was discovered that his cancer had returned, this time to the abdominal wall - which is not operable.

James is now on palliative chemo to try to stop his cancer growth, unfortunately after two rounds of chemo his cancer is still aggressively active. After research and with the help of James wonderful oncologist they are adding immunotherapy to his chemo as this could give him the chance needed to extend his life.

Unfortunately in NZ this is not funded we are needing to raise money to help fund this treatment for James please help us.
