Please support Reece as he undergoes chemo for stage 4 incurable cancer :(
Dunedin, Otago
Today Gabbie, Reece & their boys received devastating news no family wants to hear. Reece has found out he has stage 4 liver cancer and needs to begin chemotherapy immediately to try shrink the tumours and endeavour to prolong his time with his loved ones.
Anyone that knows Gabbie and Reece will be able to attest to them being amazing, kind and caring humans. Reece is a legend who loves a good time and is the most incredible Dad & role model to Harry & Moz.
Gabbie is always the first to show up when times are rough, and she's the one continually checking in long after others have stopped.
Let's help by relieving them of a bit of financial pressure to ensure they have more time to spend with each other and not have to worry about day to day expenses when time together will be so precious.
Funds will be used to help with everyday bills and living expenses while Reece is not working and Gabbie taking some time off to support him. These funds will be used to support them even if the 20k target is not reached.
I'm a friend of Gabbie's who wants to help lighten the load for this amazing team. Gabbie is an amazing human who was a strong pillar of support for me in the aftermath of my partners passing.
To take the financial pressure off so Gabbie, Reece and the boys can spend family time to make special memories together. Everyday bills and living expenses while Reece is not working and Gabbie taking some time off to support him, even if the 20k target is not reached.
Were to from here.. 4 February 2025
The plan ahead is:
His biopsies from the sample they took from his liver back in Dec will be sent to America this week. Hopefully, this will show the mutation of the cancer and where it originated. If they can find this mutation, then the treatment plan can potentially change. This will take around 6 weeks to get back.
On the 11th of Feb, Reece will have another CT scan, which will see what is going on and if the chemo has actually made a difference. Which I'm sure it has.
He will still continue to have his chemo every 12 days.
His oncologist is so happy with his progress (and probably sick of my 101 questions) that she is happy to meet with us monthly rather than fortnightly. Also, because his blood work has been so great, he is now down to fortnightly tests rather than weekly. These small wins, although they seem like nothing, are huge. One less appointment, one less trip to the hospital, and one less needle is all positive.
