Please help my wife stay with us for a little bit longer
Blenheim, Marlborough
Hi, my name is Tony Coombes. It all started around December 2018 when my world turned upside down. That's when my beloved wife, Judy, was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. The news hit us hard, but we held onto hope when the doctors found that Judy had the right mutations for a drug called Gefitinib.
Gefitinib became our lifeline. It was expensive, but thankfully it was funded by the government. For 3.5 years, Judy fought with all her might, and Gefitinib held the cancer at bay.
But then, like a cruel twist of fate, Gefitinib stopped working, that is when Judy underwent radiation treatment, and for a while, it seemed to work. But cancer, came back.
Recently, our oncologist suggested another drug, Osimertinib. It sounded promising, but it wasn't covered by government funding. The cost is astronomical. That's when we heard about Tagrix, a drug showing hope for patients like Judy this cost $1076 a month.
I can't bear to see the sadness in Judy's eyes or the feeling of hopelessness creeping in. She's my rock, and I need her by my side, especially now as I face my own health challenges. Our family needs her too.
That's why I'm reaching out, asking for help. We need to get Judy on Tagrix for at least 12 months. It's not just about buying time; it's about giving Judy the chance to keep fighting, to keep loving, and to keep living.
Thank you for reading our story, and thank you in advance for any help you can offer. Together, we can make a difference in Judy's fight against cancer.

Judys Cancer Treatment 23 September 2024
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has generously donated to support Judy's cancer treatment. She is responding well to the treatment, and it appears to be effective.
The government has indicated that they will provide funding for this drug by the end of the year or early January, but I will remain cautiously optimistic until I see it come to fruition.
Any assistance provided between now and December would be greatly appreciated, and I am hopeful that the government will fulfill their commitment.
Thank you once again for your support.
