But if an update
8 July 2025On the 15th of June 2025, 23 days ago Mark was hospitalised with what we thought was kidney stones. Having had a sore back after a slip at work and a sore chest he had a CT scan looking for stones and damage to his spine. The following morning they delivered the bad news that they had discovered a large tumour in his chest four days later he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma (blood cancer) and 3 fractures of the spine. As to be expected over night life changed for Mark. Having had the first course of chemo with no adverse reactions he is doing reasonably well. With the generous help of friends and family we have managed to raise an amazing amount of nearly $20,000.00 through the givealittle page to go towards non funded nivolumab treatment which he will start this week. Words cannot express how thankful we are to each and every one of you for your absolutely generous donations for this we are forever greatful!
