Rebekah’s fight against leukaemia

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

On Sunday the 22/9/24 we had been told it quadrupled to 80% in 3 days. On Monday 23/9/24 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 as an outpatient. 

Rebekah’s only chance of survival will be an allogeneic bone marrow transplant. 

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.
