Meet Kerri
Kerri's world was turned upside down when her mum, Jan was diagnosed with stage 3 endometrial cancer.
“In January 2018 my mum was diagnosed with stage 3 endometrial cancer. She had a radical hysterectomy and 6 weeks of daily radiotherapy.
Once completing radio, before starting chemo, she had a routine scan which showed the endometrial cancer had spread to her lungs.
She now had stage 4 cancer and hopes of cure were fading as we were told the aim of treatment now moved to control rather than cure.
She continued to have chemo and had a complete response to the chemo, clearing all lung nodules.
We celebrated for a few months, before the cancer was back, but this time in her brain.
Surgery and radiotherapy followed and once again she had a complete response and continues to be in remission today.
Soon after her diagnosis, I felt compelled to raise awareness and funds to help other women with endometrial cancer.
I didn't find a charity that supported solely endometrial cancer research.
I did however find ANZGOG, whose research, prevention and education programs cover all types of gynaecological cancer and decided they would be my chosen charity to support.”
