Kerrin's Fight - Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer

Kerrin is 43, a Registered Nurse, loving wife to Jason and a devoted Mum to Finn (13) Noah (11) Elise (9) and Daisy (4)

Kerrin was diagnosed with Breast Cancer a little over 3 years ago, she fought with courage and determination, opting for drastic treatment in order to kick the "Big C" to the curb. Her specialists were positive that she would beat this nasty illness.... until a pain in her rib a few months ago that has changed her precious life forever.

Initial tests were reassuring, but an MRI revealed the truth behind her pain.. her Cancer had returned.

Kerrin now has Stage 4, Terminal Metastatic Breast Cancer. She has multiple large tumours in her liver and another large tumour in her chest cavity which is putting pressure on her pericardium, she also has small scattered tumors in both lungs.

The best chance at prolonging her precious life is a drug called Ibrance (palbociclib) and unfortunately it is not funded here in New Zealand. It is HUGELY expensive at $6,000 a month but it is her only option to shrink the tumours and extend the time she has to spend with her family.

At such a difficult time in her life, this page is our opportunity to help out such a deserving woman. As mums and work colleagues we want to raise as much as we can to help Kerrin get this treatment and stay with us for as long as possible.

Any contribution is greatly appreciated and we want to thank each and every one who donates to Kerrins life.
