Hi friends - Please read Tara's story then make a generous donation. Thanks Darren
TARA'S STORY: My name is Tara Tobin and I am very blessed to be married and have two healthy and gorgeous boys. As most parents would attest, a three and four year old, keep us very busy and exhausted most days. So this was one of my symptoms in late 2012, but being a mum and working, I just thought being constantly tired and regularly short of breath was normal. Life for us changed on the 10th of January 2013, when I was hospitalised with a collapsed lung that had filled with fluid. Life for us changed forever on the 17th January 2013 when I was diagnosed with stage four non small cell Lung Cancer. Hard to hear the "C" word, but hard to comprehend that it was Lung Cancer as I have never smoked. So after 18 months of chemotherapy, the cancer HAD metastitised and moved to my liver. After testing my tissue three times, it was identified that I have the Alk gene which can be treated via oral chemotherapy. This medication is called Crizotinib and is manufactured by Pfizer. Unfortunately at the time my result finally came back positive, the only option available to our family was to self fund this treatment as the drug has not been approved on the PBS. Currently this cost is $8000 inc gst per month.
Currently I have been on this medication for approximately 7 weeks and the scans have shown much improvement. The improvement has flowed on to my life, and my renewed ability to be part of my families life - and put a load of washing on!
