The Story of Us: 

The single most important reason I continue to share my family’s story is to spread as much awareness as possible about rare cancers like the one Brendan is fighting.

Like all cancers, rare cancers are completely indiscriminate…Brendan is living proof that it can happen to anyone.

We are in the fortunate position at the moment that the medication keeping Brendan alive is listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. We hope that this medication continues to work for him for decades to come; and if for him – for many others also who may be diagnosed with the same or a similar rare cancer. However there are no guarantees where cancer is involved.

So we (my family) personally need more people talking about and becoming interested in rare cancers, we need more research into rare cancers, therefore we need a higher percentage of funds being raised for cancer going toward supporting rare cancer research to lift the survival rate to an acceptable level. Because we need Brendan.

As a concerned and protective wife, I am grateful every time a story like this one at abc.net.com is published;  rare cancers need as much attention as they can get.

Thank you for being apart of the awareness we are trying to bring to rare cancers and for talking about them with others.
