Sarvs Falefitu, 40-year-old West Auckland resident, was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She's undergone radiation, chemotherapy and is fundraising for a 12 month treatment of herceptin

Editor’s Note: This new blog entry is a journal in the life of Sarvs Falefitu. Last year, the brave mother of four was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Talofa lava. My name is Sarvs Falefitu. I’m married with four teenagers and I am a breast cancer survivor.
