Help support our family while my partner is going through chemotherapy for stage 4 bowel cancer.

Wellington

On the 30th of June 2023, my partner Jeremy had to have emergency surgery to remove a high grade adenocarcinoma tumor in the right side of his bowel. He was very unwell after surgery and was later told the devastating news that he has stage 4 bowel cancer.

While jeremy was relieved to have had the surgery, he was also told that the cancer had metastasized and spread to surrounding lymph nodes. He is currently having chemotherapy through a portacath in his chest for the best chance of helping reduce the cancer growth and extending his life.

Although jeremy is having chemotherapy, he has been told that the type of cancer he has is incurable. At just 41 years old this was a complete shock for Jeremy and us as a family, time now feels precious to us.

Our wish as a family is to spend quality time together while Jeremy is still well enough. Every little bit is appreciated. xx

Use of funds

Essential everyday costs such as food,petrol, power etc, while myself and Jeremy are unable to work due to his health condition.

Jeremy would also like to be able to go on a family holiday to Australia while he is still well enough.
