Tina Cullen's Stage 4 Cancer Journey

Just a few short weeks ago Tina was diagnosed with Aggressive Stage 4 Bowel Cancer that has metastasized to her Liver, of which she had no symptoms!

A diagnosis that has come as a shock to her and everyone who loves her.

The medical teams have moved fast and, just 17days after her first diagnosis, Tina has started her chemo journey of potentially up to 12 fortnightly rounds, with a three month follow up scan to see if the chemo is working. Tinas chemo is triple combo that runs over a course of three days.

With this diagnosis and the Chemo treatment also comes, countless appointments and blood tests even on her off weeks. This is making her ability to work full time and do normal tasks more challenging already.

Surgery is not an option for Tina, Chemo is a palliative treatment to extend her life.

While Tina and Bruce navigate this journey, the one thing we can do is to ease the financial stress now and to the future for both Bruce and Baylee.

The proceeds of this page will go towards day to day costs, mortgage payments, ongoing support for Bruce and Baylee and possibly even for un-funded treatment that may be an option. The reality is also that if Tina is unable to continue work so this will also help toward that decision making if and when that time should come.

Tinas 11year old daughter Baylee is not yet aware of the Terminal diagnosis for Tina, however does understand that mum is very sick and receiving treatment that may or may not work.
