Meet our Mum, Maureen. The most selfless and generous person you could imagine. She has been a giver all her life and now she needs help.
Amidst the COVID isolation and lockdowns in Melbourne last year, our family received the unthinkable news that our sweet baby boy Manoli (Oli) has cancer. Tests revealed it to be stage 4 Neuroblastoma with MYCN amplification.
Kristeen has lived with a rare genetic mutation since she was a child. In October 2019, at age 49, Kristeen received an additional diagnosis – endocervical mucinous adenocarcinoma of the gastric type, a very rare subtype of cervical cancer.
After 1 year of living life like a normal kid, we got the worst news. Our little boy had relapsed. After being classified as stage 4 high-risk Neuroblastoma in 2019, his Neuroblastoma had come back and in a big way.
