Jan Matena hasn't added a story.
My name is Jan (Yarn) and my beautiful wife Dreya was diagnosed with breast cancer two and a half years ago, when our 2nd child, our baby girl, was only six months old. We live in Australia, and after exhausting our avenues, found hope in a treatment in Germany which has remarkably reduced her tumour markers by half in only four weeks. She has been there now for 11 weeks while my children and I wait impatiently for her to return... Dreya is a delicate, sensitve woman yet strong and determined to beat this cancer. She has refused to give up. Dreya is getting better daily but is still quite weak and requires at least another two-three months of treament. She has left us temporarily, to stay with us permanently, which is hard to explain to our son, 9 and our daughter now 3. The results are nothing short of amazing!! The treatment works out at approximately $1000 AU a day and, after using all of our life savings, we have come to the end of our finances. Dreya also desperately needs three hernia operations which are causing her excrutiating and unnecessary pain, as a result of severe abdominal swelling, (which has now, thankfully, completely disappeared). A good friend takes care of our children while i work six days a week, to try to pay for treatment. It's not enough. We have got her this far, please help her continue her treatment. I now know, the only thing that will get us through this heavy hearted challenge is 'random acts of kindness'. I'm asking you for help to bring my wife back to me and our two precious children, cancer free and pain free as quickly as possible. Thank you. Jan
