Enza's lymphoma fighting fund
Donation protected
Hi my name is John, Enza is my wife of almost 10 years. Enza has been my carer for the past 3 years, as l have a condition that affects the nerves in both my legs and hands.
We have recently (8 weeks ago) moved to a little old house in Chiltern, Victoria, it needs lots of work but it is ours, so it will get done.
l am on a disability pension and Enza receives a carers pension, we have used most of money up buying the house and getting the essential renovations done, like heating, leaks in the roof, cleaning up etc.
Today 26th of June 2018, Enza has been diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma B cell type at stage3/4 and it is being treated as urgent because the primary tumour in her chest is 200mm x 30mm and lying on her lung and heart. The cancer hospital is pushing to get started before the cancer invades Enza’s organs or brain. The 1st course of Chemotherapy starts this Wednesday the 4th of July and she will have a course every 3 weeks for the next 6 months.
I will I’ll spend every cent of our little bit of savings to pay for as much as possible but once it is gone l will not have anything left for any emergency that may arise for Enza or myself.
In just 2 days it has cost me almost $1000 for tests, so l have no idea what it will be by the end of 6 months, this is why l am starting a fund raiser for Enza for the medical treatment and try and make her as comfortable as l can at home ( some more jobs need to be done to make it that way).
The other thing that some of the money may get used for, if the treatment is not successful, Enza’s wish would be that she would be able to return to Italy one more time and see her Aunt and cousins and if there is some way of granting that wish l will do it.
This is not an easy thing to talk or write about. It has happened in a whirlwind rush and we are both still spinning, l am also talking about the love of my life being taken from me after only 9 1/2 years together, Enza is to young, kind, caring and loving for it to be over at 59.
l am sure with help we can make a difference and afford the best possible care and treatment for Enza.
