Please help Lauren's fight against Cancer
Let's help Lauren get the treatment she deserves!
Egmont Village, Taranaki
One month after Lauren moved back to live in N.Z her whole world changed. After numerous tests & scans , bowel cancer was found & Lauren wasn't meant to make it out of hospital but she had determination & fight. 6years & 4 months later after having a routine CT scan it shows another large cancerous cyst in her abdomen. After a long battle with ongoing treatment it is now time too move on to an unfunded drug, Cetuximab, ($5,000aprx. every 2 weeks) that requires travel aswell. Lauren is not ready to give up this fight & as they are only on one wage it is time to ask for help. Any extra money raised will go towards the ongoing treatment costs to keep Lauren with us for as long as possible. Lauren is vibrant, witty & caring & I want to share her devoted friendship with the world. Pease help me by getting her the treatment she deserves. Thank you.

Update from Lauren 1 August 2024
A massive Thank you to all for your generosity, after 2 rounds of Cetuximab, things have not gone as expected, I had more energy & an appetite however I have not long come home from a week in hospital due to complications. My specialist has found that Cetuximab has not been good for me, so as hard as it is, we have decided to stop that drug. I have a long way to go in my recovery & are looking into other avenues of treatment to help me fight the fight, so in the mean time we carry on with specialist appointments & daily tablets . Once again, thank you so much, we as a family are blown away by your generosity.
