Rebekah’s fight against leukaemia

On the 26/9/24 Rebekah was diagnosed with acute b-cell lymphoblastic leukaemia Philadelphia positive which had progressed from 20% to 80% in four days. Now sitting at 100% of leukaemia cells. It is aggressively and rapidly growing within her bone marrow and blood.

On Sunday the 29/9/24 we had been told it quadrupled to 80% in 4 days. Rebekah was advised that without treatments, a maximum of 2 weeks to live was to be expected. 

Monday we started a week of prephase steroids which initially started to lower the leukemia cells, they then unfortunately started to rise back up again. Changing to a stronger steroid has allowed us to start cycle 1 of chemo therapy which will go for 28 days consisting of chemo in a pill, through the Hickman and spinal tapping.

Cycle 2 will commence after and go 14 days. 

If all is responding well Rebekah can continue chemotherapy at home for the next 12-18 months. 

On behalf of our sister Rebekah, we have put together a go fund me to help support her while she battles against her second fight with cancer. The funding will be going towards a bone marrow transplant, upcoming various cancer treatments and to help with daily living expenses.

Any contribution will be greatly appreciated and even just a share to help spread the word for Rebekah.
