  • Update on Janette

      16 August 2018

    Janette and Richard continue to be amazed and thankful for the generosity of friends and acquaintances.

    Subsequent to setting up the Give A Little page there have been further developments for Janette. Janette’s oncologist and haematologist have sought advice from international experts in the field and now recommend that she take a further extensive course of powerful chemotherapy. This was not Janette’s preferred option due to the severity of the drug and potential side effects however she has accepted the oncologist’s advice.

    Janette has been advised that this course of chemo is extremely tough, and she can expect to be very unwell. She will therefore need daily care at home by a qualified nurse or carer possibly for up to 6 months. This will be a very stressful time physically, emotionally and financially for Janette, Richard & Madison.

    Janette & Richard wish to be completely transparent in regards to your generous support and how the funds will be used. This course of Chemo will be funded through the public health system, however the home support required will not be.

    As the funds are not being used for the original purpose the Give A Little page was set up for Janette & Richard wish to offer to return the money to anyone who wishes to have their funds paid back. Alternatively the funds will be applied to supporting Janette & Richard through what will be a gruelling regime over the next few months with in-home care.
