Hi friends, I have started this fundraiser to help Zai and the Abdollahi family get the necessary medical attention and resources so Zai can win his battle against cancer.
Zai was diagnosed with stage 4, high risk Neuroblastoma March 2023. He has had 8 rounds of chemo, 12 rounds of radiation, 2 x 8 hour surgeries and now 6 months of immunotherapies. Due to the treatment he has had some horrible side affects including reduced eyesight, permanent hearing loss and he will be infertile. There is a 50% change that he may relapse, and if he does his changes of survival drop to 5%.
There is some good news being there is a drug DFMO which has been proven to reduce the risk of relapse by 25%. The bad news is Australia won't have access to this drug for another 2 years. Until then there is a 50/50 chance Zai can relapse, with a high chance of death if so.
America has approved Zai for clinical trial of DFMO but he will need to travel to the USA at least six times.
Zai needs your support as the DFMO drug will give him the best chance of beating this disease and to live a life cancer free.
Being a young father myself, this has touched me to do something about it. I could only imagine how I would feel if my daughters were going through the same experience.
Zai has fought so hard already... it's time for us to fight for him.
Please give what you can and support Zai and the Abdollahi family
