In 2016 at the age of 23 Danielle was diagnosed with with 1b1 grade 3 Adenocarinoma.a rare type of cervical cancer for her age. After almost 2 years of being NDP (no disease present) Danielle’s Cancer has returned and she needs your help.

As everyone is aware of Danielle has gone through two bouts of cancer and has now had to make an unthinkable decision which resulted in her having a radical hysterectomy with her second node removal four weeks ago, even with her two medical teams having opposing thoughts on treatments. This now of course means she is unable to carry her own children at the age of 26 let alone the fact she has had to fight through cancer not once but twice. 

Danielle’s journey to recovery isn’t over and it will be an ongoing challenge to get her to the five year cancer free mark. However, fortunately for us some things are meant to be and we have already found a surrogate who is ready to start the process ASAP. This can take 18-20 months roughly from the beginning up until the birth of a child. Due to all of this change in health and circumstance we are now left with the unexpected cost that comes with surrogacy. 

Surrogacy can range anywhere between $30k - $60k and is extremely difficult to know where in these figures the total will stand. By having this rare blessing of finding a kind and loving women who has offered her womb, we can not pass up this opportunity, which means we once again need your help
So with this I ask if you could please share this page to help spread the word and in the hopes of getting it out into the public. If you can spare anything please help us make this happen, it is a rare opportunity that we just can not  pass up.

Since Danielle’s cancer was removed there has been some development. She’s had an MRI and PET scan which there is some concern with her PET scan and is being repeated this week, whom have since said their will need to be further treatment, depending on results and after seeing her Melbourne team on what road we go down in the next couple weeks. At the moment it is unknown and have currently been rushed in to see a fertility specialist to create embryos where Danielle has hope she can still use, but with this comes added cost due to us already having one child we have to come up with 14k ourselves. With all this added stress I’ve had to take more time off to care for Danielle’s fragile state as well as Elijah, so it’s been a rough few days here to say the least. We appreciate everyone’s donations and kind words and hope that we can continue to keep the donations flowing to alleviate these financial strains.

Danielle had been having trouble for a few months after having our son Elijah which doctors initially thought they had left something behind during her emergency C-section and also stated things can last up to two years after birth.
 
Elijah was 13 months when we moved to Melbourne and had finally reached breaking point as a young mum to a 18 month old little boy, and could no longer go on the way she was, especially with no family around, Danielle finally went into the doctors and explained everything that had gone on to date. We waited for the results and two weeks later was told she needed to see a gynecologist as her pap was abnormal.
 
Danielle and I went to the doctors who explained she was young, 23 years old, and often people get abnormal paps when their immune system is low, and explained there is cin1, cin2 and cin3 pre-cancerous cells and then cancerand said Danielle had nothing to worry about. He then examined her and his faced changed just like the doctor who did the pap, he instantly said she needed to be referred to someone who could see her within the week.
 
She was referred to the most amazing private doctor at The Royal Women’s Hospital and in a weird way we really think it was meant to be that he was going to be out of town (it was almost Christmas, so everyone was going away). She examined Danielle first and took a biopsy which was excruciatingly painful and said she doesn’t want to wait for the results and instead book an operation date, insisting we get in within the next two days for the removal of what she believed was cancer. She rang a week later asking for us to come in the following day, I was about to fly out to work so we insisted she gave the result via phone so I didn’t leave if they were bad, We don’t remember much from that conversation apart from that the next stage were more tests, a hysterectomy and chemo/radiation. We both cried and felt in shock and broken. I arranged with Danielle’s mum and sister to jump on a plane and to get in to see the doctor all together who explained she could not get clear margins on my 3.2cm cancer due to where it was situated.
 
The best option for Danielle was a hysterectomy radiation/chemotherapy, After pet scans dyes and MRIs, 2 weeks later Danielle had another key hole operation to remove her key lymph nodes as well as two abnormal looking nodes which the results of no cancer present in her nodes, her age and her understanding she wasn’t getting the “gold class treatment for her type of cancer and size” she allowed for Danielle to try the fertility sparing option of a radical trachelectomy (This is the removal of the tissue by the bowel and bladder as well as all the cervix) giving Danielle hope and a focus and fight to get through the coming years which were uncertain.
 
She was the first in Melbourne to receive this via key hole. We then decided that it would be more beneficial to move to Perth as then I would only be 2 hours away. Since then, Danielle had received clearance with 3 monthly ongoing checkups and 2 yearly MRI’s. Planning now to grow our family and have a tac (a stitch over the cervix to be able to carry a child) which we had booked only then to find out 5 days earlier that her most recent pap yet again had unusual cells and now required a full hysterectomy.
 
Danielle instantly rang her Melbourne team which we were able to seek a second opinion knowing Danielle’s history personally. She then took a biopsy and cancelled the tac operation and booked for a different operation 2 days later from which she found a 4mm x 2mm tumor, located in the little remaining cervix which was removed via a leap procedure.
 
For Danielle to live a comfortable and happy life for years to come as the mother to our son Elijah, the first priority being to make sure the cancer does not return. We would never have thought to be in this position and having to ask for help from those we don’t know but out of desperation we have found ourselves needing financial support. We would be most thankful to those who donate any amount to assist in the recovery that Danielle desperately requires.
