Support Cat's Cancer Treatement

Cat is only 38 years old, partner to Joel and Mother to three - Aria, Dom, Willow and Step-Mum to three - Ava, Brad and Noah.

On the 30th of November 2023 Cat underwent emergency surgery for an unexpected medical issue. This led to the discovery of Bowel Cancer.

After an initial diagnosis on December 16th of Stage 1 Bowel Cancer Cat underwent surgery in February which removed 30cm of her bowel/Colon where the cancer was. Cat had been recovering well from surgery, adjusting to life with a Stoma and Ileostomy bag and was feeling positive ahead of her hospital appointment in mid March 2024. Unfortunately the Histology results came back and Cat has now been given a diagnosis of Stage 3B Bowel Cancer. This new diagnosis meant that Cat should have done Chemo and Radiation Treatment before the surgery.

Cat was advised to see a medical oncologist privately as there is a minimum 6 - 8 week wait with 163 people ahead of her on the hospital waitlist and that she should start Chemotherapy as soon as possible to have the best outcome for her diagnosis. Through the private sector Cat is able to start Chemotherapy on Wednesdsay the 28th of March and at this stage is booked in for three rounds before hoping to get into the Public Health sector. These three rounds would come with a cost of approximately $7-10,000.

Any donation, big or small will not go unnoticed. Starting Chemotherapy through the Private Sector gives Cat a chance to beat this Cancer and be able to see her kids grow up.
