Renee is having her second battle with Head and Neck Cancer. She completed Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy January - March 2019.

Sadly the Cancer returned October 2020 and is now Stage Four.

She has completed another round of Radiation Therapy November 2020 to help shrink the Tumor that had been blocking her right lung.

Further treatment has been recommended, either Chemotherapy or Immunotherapy.

Renee found out she is compatible for Keytruda Therapy (Immunotherapy) which will commence shortly after January 7th 2021. Unfortunately this is not publicly funded and has been quoted as costing at least $100,000 privately at The Canopy Cancer Centre.
