One day, back in August 2023, our entire world shattered.
Noga, our eldest daughter, was diagnosed with an aggressive Grade 4 brain cancer, with an average survival rate of just 12-18 months.
Noga is only 26 years old. She is a loving daughter, caring sister to three young siblings, loyal friend, and a bright medical student.
This sudden and devastating diagnosis came without any warning signs. One moment, she was chatting with friends at her medical training hospital, and the next, she collapsed, swiftly transitioning from a member of the medical team to a patient in the Emergency ward. Within hours, she received the dreadful news of her brain tumour.
Still, Noga shows immense courage, resilience, and strength. She underwent a risky brain surgery followed by rounds of radiation and chemotherapy. Yet, these conventional methods offer little hope for her.
But this can change!
A cutting-edge treatment in Germany offers us hope. This innovative gene-based treatment uses personalised vaccination to train the immune system to target and destroy the patient’s own tumour cells.
Unfortunately, this tailored treatment comes at a steep cost. It involves complex processes and expensive equipment. Additionally, it requires numerous flights to Germany, further straining our family’s financial resources.
Noga’s treatment is estimated at $300,000 (AUD), including the development and administration of the vaccine, travels expenses to Germany, accommodation, and other related expenses.
Please consider contributing to give Noga the chance she needs.
Every donation, no matter how small, is a powerful step towards giving Noga hope for the future.
Your generosity means the world to us.
Thank you,
The Ishay family and close friends.
