Hi Everyone,
We are currently doing a fundraiser for our dearest munchkin Cody Jay Vang.
Some of us already know Cody's brave battle with cancer and some of us may not..
When Cody was just 3 years of age, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma therefore he began a year of intense chemotherapy, mega therapy and radiation. Being the little superman he is, he fought courageously and went into remission!
Were we as joyous as ever but.. unfortunately in July 2013 Cody relapsed. However we all still held hope and plenty of it.
Once Cody had relapsed, Princess Margaret Hospital advised us Cody was eligible to go on a new type of chemotherapy currently being trialled in America. After several cycles of the new chemotherapy, Cody stopped responding.
Cody has now been offered a new form of treatment - He would become the first child in Australia to undergo such a treatment which before was exclusively used on patients with intestinal cancer.
This treatment is called Radiopeptide Therapy of Neuroendocrine Tumours. It has now been 1 year since Cody started his first treatment after he has relapsed. We have learned to accept that there is no cure for Neuroblastoma once you relapse.. and that any treatment will only give us valued and precious time with Cody.
Not knowing how much time left we have with Cody, there is one earnest desire Cody wishes to be fufilled - that is to go to see the Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia his place of heritage.
We hope to make this trip possible for Cody with the generosity and kindness from everyone's heart.
