Checking In
17 May 2024
Kia Ora team, Jason and Emma checking in with a short update.
Jason is now into his 5th of 6 chemotherapy cycles. He will have a final scan at the end of the 6th cycle and from here the next step will be confirmed based on the result from the scan. The hope is the cancer will have decreased enough to move into an ‘observation’ period where treatment can seize for a time.
In the meantime, Jason and Emma have been lucky enough to be able to get out of Auckland in between treatments. Last cycle they managed to have 10 days away at the beautiful Coopers Beach! Pictured below - with Stella, the newest addition to the family, the trio managed to walk, swim and even get a bit of a tan during their time up in the winter less north!
Currently the pair (and Stella) are on their way down to Hawkes Bay where a number of friends and whānau will be taking their place in the Hawkes Bay marathon, half marathon and 10km walk/run this Saturday. The support around the event has been amazing from so many both in NZ and abroad - good luck to everyone participating in some shape or form over the coming weeks!
