Shawns fight againt stage 4 cancer
Donation protected
Local Family in Wolumla .
After loosing his war veteran dad at the age of 3 and being bought up in a single parent family with 7 siblings. We thought his struggles would be over as he matured. He met his fiancé Sandra Dean in 2007, unfortunately not long after in 2007 he was diagnosed with melanoma cancer, with medication and treatment and operations he was told he was cancer free. In 2008 he relapsed with after having his lymph nodes and glands removed and more treatment he was put on 3 monthly visits. Our sorrows turned into excitement with the birth of his first child.
An all clear was given in 2009. In 2010 his second child was born.
After being in remission for a while he was put on 12 monthly visits, In 2014 he only made one 12 monthly visit and his scans showed that the cancer was back again and it's now a stage 4. After having his thyroid removed they found it in his hip bone, spots on his liver and an enlarged spleen. Then his 3rd child was born.The tablets have stopped working and temperatures happening every week that require hospitalization he now has to travel 5 1/2 hours to sydney every 3 weeks for treatment either having to bring his family with him and them missing school or leaving them at home to worry what is next. His 5 1/2 hrs one way trip turns into a 3 day trip every 3 weeks.
With him being unable to work because of the treatment and his overall health they are finding it very hard financially to travel to sydney, pay rent and pay all necessary bills for every day survival.
We want to help raise funds to help Shawn and his family with maybe relocating to sydney if need be and to be able to survive financially for as long as he and his family need it.
