Supporting Kelsey through rare HLRCC kidney cancer journey

Richmond, Tasman

Hello friends, Thank you so much for your generous donation and prayers. At present, I have completed 15th cycle of Avastin+ Erlotinib at Nelson City Hospital. In September 2024, I have underwent 2 surgeries and was admitted to Intensive care at Christchurch City Hospital. In January 2024, I was diagnosed with stage 4 HLRCC, was the 4th person in NZ. I was in utter shocked as I have no family history of cancer. In desperation, I flew back to Malaysia, and got my first targeted and radiation therapy treatment, thanks to many generous donors. I am very thankful to God that I have been responsive to Avastin/ Tarceva. I am very thankful that I did not get the side effects, such as skin rashes. I have nose bleeding and gum bleeding often. Prayers are appreciated, as I am still on sick leave to go through this journey. God is good to me.

Use of funds

Donations will cover immunotherapy in NZ (cabozantibi and nivolumab) and similar options, travel, diagnostic tests and family expenses during Kelsey treatments and cares.

Dear donors n friends

Thank you for your generous donations

Without your donations, I wouldn’t be able to do radiation therapy n cope with living expenses . Yesterday my oncologist declared that they couldn’t find any cancer cells anymore.

Thank you all so much. God has brought me this journey to change my entire life. From a person full of myself to total humility. I am recovering in a farm where I can eat healthy. Words cannot express my thanks to all of you for generous giving n prayers.
