Early this year Tim Hamilton was diagnosed with T-Lymphoblasticlymphoma, which is a very aggressive form of lymphoma.
This blog has been created to keep all concerned updated on his progress, and to act as an information centre for all upcoming fundraising activities to help the Hamilton family as they begin the battle ahead.
Latest news - from Andrea Hamilton:
Tim begins chemo today (Admin - Jan 9th) and will continue for 6 months. Even though it is so aggressive, it is curable and the doctors are positive. It is a 'pot luck' type of cancer and has no correlation to lifestyle habits or family genetics. It is most common in 18-20 year olds. Tim remains in the Austin until he stabilises (Admin - as of Jan 13, Tim has been able to move back home). We appreciate all of your support at this very hard time for our families. At present we would appreciate some time to process this shocking news and come to terms with what it all means and how it will impact on our lives.
Please contact the admin at thehamiltonfamilyblog@gmail.com if you have any questions or suggestions for content and activities.
If you would like to leave a message of support, please either leave a comment below or simply email the admin.
Please see the Important Links section for a link to the calender function. This will list important dates regarding upcoming fundraising activities and any particular dates where help with the Hamilton Landscapes business would be appreciated.
In time we also hope to provide a link to a site for donations for those who have more money than time and would like to lend a hand.

ReplyDeleteGreat initiative guys. Tim has such great mates and this is a reflection of the genuine and sincere bloke he is.
ReplyDeleteCount me in for doing some work, living and working in Geelong I am limited to weekends but keen to help and keen to get behind fundraising activities.
Tim you are such a sensational bloke, I love your humour and have always parted with a sore stomach from laughing so hard when we get together. I was only telling a mate two weeks ago, when I was away in NSW, about a funny time we had together. You have a beautiful family and it is such an honor to call you a mate..anything we can do to help, we will. Our positive thoughts are with you.
This is Sheilah Hamilton, your grand aunt Tim. I have only just found out about you and wish you all the best for your recovery. I haven't met you but see from your blog that you have the Hamilton resemblance and sense of humour. I am sending this from Cabrini Hospital where I am undergoing tests myself. Please give my love to your parents.
ReplyDeleteWith much love
Sheilah
