ANY HELP OR DONATIONS FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL LADY IS MUCH APPRECIATED
Hi My name is Jemma Clark and I am writing to you about my good friend June Graham. June Graham is an elderly lady in the Tweed community that is currently battling cancer. June has had a tough time in life over the past few years and has battled and beaten many forms of cancer. She has had cancer 4 times. The first one being cervical cancer in 1982 and was 5 months pregnant at the time and sadly lost her baby. June was able to be cured of this cancer until she then got cancer again in 2007 this time it was breast cancer which she also managed to beat. June was then diagnosed with breast cancer again 2022 and finally again now in 2024. June has had to have a mastectomy of one of her breasts to try remove a large portion of the cancer followed by chemotherapy in 2022. She has fought and beaten many of them but has now just been given the diagnosis of a very serious and severe form of cancer of which she has been given a 6-12 month life expectancy from. This cancer is called a triple negative stage 4 cancer which is in the breast and lymph nodes. There is a criteria which you must meet to be funded for the cancer drug she needs. You need to have had chemotherapy 3 times and also a blood test which they do which has to have a result of higher than 10. Unfortunately, June is now undergoing her 3 lot of chemotherapy but does not count as the third lot has not been completed so does not count as 3 rounds of chemotherapy and her blood test results are a 5 which is under the criteria amount of 10. The cancer drug that June needs to have cost $28,000 which is why we are trying our very best to raise these funds as she cannot afford this amount of money. If June is able to have this cancer drug it will give her a minimum of 3-5 years possibly a lot more as apposed to 6-12 months. We as a community and her friends and family are absolutely devastated from this news as you can imagine. June is one of the hardest working people I know and will fight and fight and never give up. June has a heart of gold and is one of the most kindest and caring people I know. She is still currently working as a bingo caller at the sports club as she absolutely loves her bingo and is determined to continue doing so until she feels that she cannot carry on with it. June has resumed chemotherapy and has been told by her oncologist about a cancer drug that could prolong her life substantially. Her oncologist currently has a patient of the same age and type of cancer that June has and by having this cancer drug she has lived an additional 15 years and is now cancer free. This is the hope we have for June as we can't imagine life without her. Unfortunately, the government will not fund this cancer drug for June and give her the opportunity to continue her fight and come out the other the end of this terrible disease which knowing how strong June is we believe she would do. June currently has a go fund me page to try and raise the funds for her treatment which we hope can reach her target and get her the treatment she needs. I am currently approaching local businesses and asking if they would be so kind enough to donate to June's cause. Obviously, money donated to her go fund me would be the most ideal option but understand some businesses are unable to do this and have donated multiple vouchers they we intend to raffle of in a bid to raise money for June. Anything is appreciated and we as a community and her family and friends hope that you can help her cause in some way.
