Jay was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel adenocarcinoma metastatic cancer. Jay is brave and determined to fight the cancer!
Whangarei, Northland
Jay was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel adenocarcinoma metastatic cancer in August 2024. This is devastating news for Jay, her partner Mikale and their three children. Jay is only 38 and the children are 15, 9 and 2. Jay is determined and brave and will do everything she can to fight both for herself and her lovely family!
This diagnosis has hit everyone hard and means their whole life changes swiftly. Jay is unable to work at the job she loved so much and the impact financially for the family who recently bought their own home is significant. At such a stressful time, upheaval and change for the family is a burden that comes with this cancer diagnosis.
Jay is receiving palliative care which consists of chemotherapy for the first three months. There are other treatments available but these are unfunded and costly. We know there is immense support from Jay’s community wanting to help her with her battle in whatever way practically possible. In setting up this page we hope this provides a way for Jay’s family, friends and supporters to provide their help. We love Jay so much and she deserves only the best care available now and the treatments yet unknown.
Every donation whatever the size will go a long way to relieving the stress and pressure on this young family and give them more time to focus on spending quality time together. We are very thankful for any support which helps Jay and the family during this difficult time as Jay takes on the fight to kick cancer's arse!
Jay is my daughter-in-law (and my dearest friend). Jay is mother to my grandchildren. Jay is an integral member of our family who we love very very much.
The cost of Specialist consultations, tests and treatments that are not funded. Bevacizumab (30k) which can help prevent the cancer cells from growing is needed now. Will also help the family manage the costs for travel, supplements, cancer costs.
