Hello beautiful supporters - Shane as we speak is having the Avastin drug infused via IV which will be followed by Irinotecan....we will be spending the next 4 or so hours up at oncology while this happens.
We thought we would give you all a quick update on the fundraising for the Avastin drug that we are needing to fund ourselves.
This givealittle page was set up soon after Shane was first diagnosed, with roughly $30 000 dollars raised last year (AMAZING!) which Shane has used to help pay for his complementary therapies such as:
* visits to a private oncologist for a second opinion
* the advice of homeopaths and then the use of there remedies
* treatment from an osteopath
* purchasing supplements recommended up his wider medical team (most of which have been sourced from the USA to keep costs down)
* eating a diet of whole organic foods which we have been purchasing as local as possible
* attending a cancer retreat in Australia and New Zealand
Without your support through this page, all of the above would not have been possible - and for that we are so very grateful!
Moving forward, that leaves approx. $40 000 to raise to complete the treatment regime of Avastin. The last week we have been overwhelmed with the love and support we have received, with lots of new likers and our Facebook page and many donations totalling close to $10 000. YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!
Please keep on sharing this page and getting the word out there, every little bit does help.
Arohanui from us to you xxx
