Family issues desperate plea for 28 year old diagnosed with rare cancer

The family of a former Maitland woman has issued a desperate plea for help, as it looks to get medical treatment for her – potentially overseas.

Janine Aqil has been diagnosed with a rare, aggressive stage four ‘Gene Fusion’ cancer.

She’s undergone chemo and immunotherapies, but oncologists say surgery is not an option.

Her mother, who lives near Gloucester, has set up a Go Fund Me page to help Janine.
