We are still striving and supporting our brother Sven so please any amount counts weather large or small it’s all going to Sven and his family to beat this please support and share love to everyone
I wanted to give you a quick update on my journey. It has been 10 days since I returned from Japan, and I feel that I have made good progress. The treatment showed promising results in the first 2 weeks, as I mentioned in the last update. We are hopeful that the following 2 weeks in Japan were just as successful. We need to give it some time to see more results and whether I have to consider returning to Japan or not. In the meantime, I will continue with the immunotherapy, and in a couple of months, I will have another MRI to hopefully confirm the positive trend.
My doctor in Japan may want to see me again in September/October, but only if the last treatment shows a different outcome. This decision is still pending.
I am incredibly grateful for you all, none of this would have happened without your support.
I will keep my spirits high.
Sven
Hello everyone ,
The past 2-3 weeks have been filled with daily 3-4 hour clinic visits for various treatments besides the immunotherapy and the doctor and his team are truly amazing. All treatments have no side effects I feel improvement in my energy levels.
The warm and beautiful weather here makes my stay easier as I can do the daily clinic visits by bike.
The results of the blood test I had on the day of my arrival were as expected- not so good. My tumour marker had increased from the last test, and it proved that it was the right decision to act so quickly. We did a second blood test last Monday, and the results were absolutely incredible. It showed that in only 2 weeks, all values had improved and were in the normal range. My tumour marker decreased by 2.5 points! We were thrilled and so happy and couldn't believe it at first.
Of course, the tumour is still present, and the plan is to undergo another full week of treatment. But it indicates that I am responding well, which gives me more hope.
I am so grateful. None of this would have been possible without your generous donations, your support and love from everywhere in the world. Thank you so much for all your continuous support. This journey has been exceptional, and I am truly grateful beyond words.
Dōmo arigatō 🙏 and lots of aroha
Lieber Sven!Das freut mich sehr. Drück dich
We can’t believe it, but we made it to Japan and are slowly settling in. I've already had my first face-to-face consultation with the specialists, and the wonderful team has decided on the best treatment plan for me. I feel really positive and in good hands. I've already started my treatment, and I have to go to the clinic every day for a few hours over the next 4 weeks. In approximately 2 weeks, I will have another blood test, which will show the first indications of how the treatment is progressing.
So many things have happened over the last few weeks, and everything has happened so fast. I'm so thankful that I could come and make a start, as my last MRI showed an increase in the tumour.
Thank you again for your continuing support, your generosity, all the wonderful positive and encouraging words, the truly amazing movie fundraiser and art auction and thank you for believing in my mission. 🙏 This wouldn't be possible without you.
Sending lots of aroha

We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for all your support. Your generosity has made a significant impact. We feel blessed to be part of this community and grateful for all the support from friends and family. Your belief in our cause has not only brought us closer to our goal but has also filled our hearts with immense encouragement and motivation.
With your help, we are one step closer and have now booked the flights to Japan and my first appointment with the specialist will be at the end of May. We will keep you posted with the next updates.
Thanks so much for standing beside us, it means more to us than words can express.
