In January this year ( 2014 ) I was diagnosed with Grade 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme. I have had Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy .
In June this year a portion of a second brain tumour was removed. The standard Chemotherapy used for Brain Cancer has to this date been unsuccessful and the tumour continues to grow.
My biggest hurdle at present is the swelling of the brain.
An alternative Chemotherapy will help with this swelling and may give me an extra couple of months with my family.
There is little or no government subsidy and we have sought help through foundations which have been unsuccessful.
I am asking for a small donation from my family and friends to help with the cost of further treatment.

Paul Sterry joined the New South Wales State Emergency Service in 1978, he was 19 years old. Even though he held a job as a young clerk with the Public Works Department he held down at least another two part time jobs in addition to his role in the communications area of the Illawarra South Coast Division Headquarters.
Paul moved to the Kiama Unit in the mideighties and fitted in straight away, and thus was born a relationship between Paul and the Kiama Unit that lasted more than a quarter of a century. The Paul Sterry that the Kiama Unit knew and loved was generous to a fault and always willing to help anyone.
One of the Unit’s memories of Paul was at the Jamberoo Bus Crash in 2005, when a bus carrying more than 20 tourists rolled over on the Jamberoo Mountain Pass. Paul arrived in his car a few hours after the rescue began, opened his boot and started to distribute drinks, chocolates and snacks to the exhausted rescuers. Within a few minutes the boot was empty and Paul was heading back down the mountain for new supplies.
Paul was known as a joker by those who knew him well. He would often appear to talk very seriously about an issue and then, once everybody was well and truly involved, come out and say “I was only joking”. Even those who knew him well would be caught off guard by his wicked sense of humour and ability to appear completely serious until the right moment to come clean.
Louise Ashton, another member of the Kiama SES unit works at Wollongong Hospital where Paul spent long periods of time during his ongoing battle against diabetes. It was her
ritual to pop in each day before finishing work to check on him and have a quick yarn. Paul’s hospital room was like a mini office – he had bags full of paperwork, including SES receipts at times. Louise reported that the staff often commented that Paul was a delight and would often sing to them. He will be missed by all.
Paul was a recipient of the National Medal in 1999 as well as the State Medal for Hunter and Central Coast Storms in 2007. He also was awarded the SES Long Service Awards for 5, 10,
15, 20, 25 and 30 years of service with the SES.
He will be remembered by the members of the Kiama SES as one of its primary carers.
Throughout his 32 years with the Service Paul focused on caring and providing support for its volunteers, especially in times of disaster.
When Kiama SES were out helping others in our community it was Paul that would be standing behind them and supporting them with the food and equipment they needed to get the job done or offer a quiet, comforting word after a horrific crash or rescue.
At the funeral on Thursday 8th of September the SES said farewell to a great SES member.
Paul is survived by his wife Bronwyn and children Moria and Max, who will all miss him greatly.

NATIONAL POLICE REMEMBRANCE DAY – 2012
Page: 15631
The Hon. MELINDA PAVEY: My question is addressed to the Minister for Police and Emergency Services. Will the Minister inform the House about National Police Remembrance Day?
The Hon. MICHAEL GALLACHER: I thank the honourable member for her question and I again welcome the opportunity to share the details of this significant day for the New South Wales Police Force with the wider community. National Police Remembrance Day was observed on Friday 28 September 2012. It is a day held in memory of police officers across the country who have died in the line of duty. On that day I had the honour of attending a service held at the New South Wales Police Wall of Remembrance in the Domain at which the 251 officers who have given their lives to protect the people of New South Wales since the formation of the New South Wales Police Force 150 years ago were rightly honoured.
It was a solemn reflection of the ultimate sacrifice those officers made and their legacy. The service included special acknowledgement of Senior Constable David Rixon, who was killed on 2 March 2012 whilst on duty in Tamworth. Senior Constable Rixon‘s tragic death was a salient reminder of the dedication police give to the service and protection of our communities. In upholding the law and keeping the people of New South Wales safe, police put their lives on the line on a daily basis. National Police Remembrance Day honours the courage and bravery of all police officers across the country. It is also an important day to remember police officers who have lost their lives as a result of illness and in other circumstances.
National Police Remembrance Day recognises the families of all serving police officers and the families of those who did not make it home at the end of their shift. New South Wales Police Legacy is a not-for-profit organisation that looks after the families of deceased police officers in New South Wales. The organisation does an invaluable job providing financial and emotional support to more than 1,000 widows and widowers and 200 children across New South Wales. Importantly, New South Wales Police Legacy ensures that these families remain part of the wider police family. The police family is a close-knit group of people who support each other and their families.
Also in attendance at the service at the Wall of Remembrance was 12-year-old Elayna Day and her grandmother. Elayna was only six years old when her father, Sergeant Graham Clifford Day, died but she remains a firm member of the police family. She is the proud recipient of the 2012 Commissioner’s Scholarship. The New South Wales Police Legacy scholarship will assist Elayna as she enters high school next year to pursue her dream of becoming a veterinarian. She is a prime example of the fine work undertaken by New South Wales Police Legacy in supporting the families of our fallen police officers. The need for an organisation like Police Legacy highlights the risks associated with being a police officer. It is a difficult, stressful and dangerous job. In informing the House on the significance of National Police Remembrance Day, I would like to take this opportunity to thank police officers across the State, all of whom are serving and protecting the people of New South Wales. Their commitment is acknowledged and respected, their bravery and courage is honoured and admired and I thank them for their contribution in ensuring that we have a safe community.

SHE was only six when her father died, but Elayna Day is still a firm member of the police family.
Sergeant Graham Clifford Day died in 2006 from acute renal failure after serving in the NSW police force.
As police officers stop to remember Sgt Day and other fallen officers today, Elayna, now 12, will also be honoured, receiving the 2012 Commissioner’s Scholarship.
The year 6 student said she would use the $5000 NSW Police Legacy scholarship to pursue her dream of becoming a veterinarian.
“I was really surprised, I never thought I would get the scholarship,” she said.
Her grandmother and guardian, Judith Parker, said the money would help her support Elayna.
“I’m so excited that she has won this. She goes to high school next year and this really helps with uniforms and everything else,” Ms Parker said.
“The police are very generous every year but for her to win this scholarship is terrific. She’s such a delightful child.”
The pair will travel from Newcastle to be part of today’s ceremony at the Police Wall of Remembrance in the Domain.
NSW Police Legacy is a not-for-profit organisation which looks after the families of deceased police officers across NSW. It currently helps more than 1000 widows and widowers, and 205 children.
“We provide legatees with emotional and financial support to allow these families to remain part of the police family,” a spokeswoman said.
“We recognise the important role police officers’ families play in supporting them.”
He was stationed at Maitland Police Station in Highway Patrol from about 1981 to about 1986. I believe he made it onto the Bikes in Maitland about 1985. He must have transferred back to Sydney following this period.
Graham was a great mate and our families were very close until I left the job.
He had a little claim to fame as being the only bloke to put an XE HWP car sideways into the service station on the ambulance corner of the main street in Raymond Terrace.
He was a funny bloke, and I still remember the Train noises he could make on the new electronic announcement system fitted to the Brock Special Commodore we shared for a while.
Sorry to see you gone mate.
Lots of good times…(old paper clipping I have kept since the 80’s with GDay on the mike!)

Around Cootamundra – November 5, 2014
SAD PASSING
Springdale resident and former Cootamundra Local Area Command Domestic Violence Liaison Officer Paul Wilcox passed away peacefully on Monday night at home on his farm following a recent battle with a rare cancer. Paul was a respected member of our community and the NSW Police Force. He helped countless women, and on occasion men, escape the cycle of domestic violence during his time in the force. Such was his standing in the Force that in 2009 his work was recognised with the prestigious Commissioner’s Customer Service Officer of the Year Award. The support of the local community came to the fore for Paul recently with a well-attended fundraising dinner filling him and his family with joy. Condolences to wife Jennie, the entire Wilcox family and his extended family of ‘the boys in blue’.
COMMENDED: Back in 2009, Cootamundra Local Area Command’s then domestic violence officer Paul Wilcox received a prestigious award for the work he did in the local community. Today, he is suffering a rare form of cancer and friends are rallying to support him.
FOR years he was the domestic violence liaison officer here in Cootamundra, helping countless women caught in difficult circumstances to break free of the cycle of violence.
He was passionate about what he did, going above and beyond the call of your everyday police officer.
In 2009 the work of Senior Constable Paul Wilcox was recognised with a Commissioner’s Customer Service Officer of the Year Award.
Paul is now facing a brand new battle – one he needs the support of others to overcome.
Paul has a rare form of cancer known as ‘Pancoast Tumour’. It is an inoperable tumour that is wrapped around the main artery that feeds blood to his brain and is already starting to cause a series of small strokes.
After numerous rounds of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, Paul is not responding to regular treatment.
There is hope however for this husband and father, who lives in Springdale with his family.
A radical treatment called ‘Radiowave Cancer Therapy’, also known as ‘Microwave Therapy’, has given Paul and his family hope.
The treatment is expensive and is not covered by Medicare. It is also only offered in Perth, Western Australia and further complicating matters, Paul is medically unfit to fly after surgery which removed part of his lung.
The wheels are in progress on a fundraising dinner for Paul to help ease the financial burden on his family and get him to Perth for treatment.
Anyone who has ever crossed paths with Paul is invited along to the dinner on September 27 at the Cootamundra Ex Services Club.
LOCKED AND LOADED: Keith Turner, Wilf Reid and Tony Nichols of local band Lock, Stock & Bingle got everyone up and dancing at the Cootamundra Ex-Service’s Club for Paul Wilcox’s fundraiser on Saturday night.
LADY LUCK: Jennie Wilcox presents Debbie White with her lucky door prizes. Debbie was very lucky on the night, also winning one of the raffle prizes, which she decided to donate back.
FIGHTING FAMILY: Jennie’s family were among the many people who turned up on Saturday night to support Paul, including (from back left) Callum Baker, Margaret Poulton, Jennie Wilcox, Paul Wilcox, Bill Poulton, and (front) Olivia Lloyd and Alison Poulton.
At the dinner, which includes a three-course meal and entertainment, there will be raffles and an auction of donated prizes.
All businesses that donate will have their business advertised throughout the night and a thank you card after the event to inform how much money was raised.
Already a number of local businesses have jumped on board to support the cause including Naked Nails, Hair and Beauty.
Currently the salon is supporting the Billie Judge fundraising campaign and will continue to do so for the next week and a half.
From August 11, they will support Paul’s cause with 10 per cent of daily takings, $10 from every full colour and $10 from every set of acrylic nails donated to the Wilcox family.
Local band ‘Lock, Stock and Bingle’ will perform on the night and they are always a hit. Keeping the tone of the night fun in honour of the good bloke Paul is, organisers are encouraging people to attend in their favourite hat or silliest wig.
For further information or to contact please contact Rachael on 0411 642 573 or Jen on 0418 069 485 or follow Paul’s progress on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pauliesprogress.

THE new owners of the Pickled Pantry have come on board to support fundraising efforts for the family of former Cootamundra Local Area Command police officer Paul Wilcox.
Paul has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and requires treatment in Western Australia.
Trevor and the team at the Pickled Pantry are kindly donating 50 cents from every coffee sold in the month of August to Paul and his family.
Meanwhile, Kylie and her team at Naked Nails have also pledged their support to Paul and his family following the conclusion of her fundraising efforts for another local struck by cancer Billie Judge.
Well done to these local businesses and if you can please support them as they support locals in need.

Pancoast Tumour fundraiser for Paul Wilcox
FAMILY MAN: Paul Wilcox and his wife Jen are hopeful the fundraising dinner will help to cover medical expenses.
ON September 27 the Rippley’s Farewell Dinner will be held at the Cootamundra Ex Services Club to raise funds for Paul Wilcox and his family.
Mr Wilcox has a rare form of cancer known as a Pancoast Tumour. The tumour is inoperable as it’s wrapped around the main artery that feeds blood to the brain and is already starting to cause a series of small strokes. After numerous rounds of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery Mr Wilcox’s body isn’t responding to regular treatment.
A radical treatment called Radiowave Cancer Therapy also known as Microwave Therapy has given hope to Mr Wilcox and his family. This treatment is expensive, not covered by Medicare and only offered in Perth, WA. To make matters more difficult he’s unable to fly due to medical reasons.
Family and friends of Mr Wilcox are hoping to raffle and auction off as many prizes as they can get. All businesses that donate will have their business advertised throughout the night and a thank you card after the event to inform how much money was raised. The family is counting on the kindness and generosity of strangers to help this family in need.
Community members are being encouraged to follow the ‘Paul’s Progress’ Facebook page for more information regarding the event and his treatment.
FIGHTING FAMILY: Jennie’s family were among the many people who turned up on Saturday night to support Paul, including (from back left) Callum Baker, Margaret Poulton, Jennie Wilcox, Paul Wilcox, Bill Poulton, and (front) Olivia Lloyd and Alison Poulton.
COMMUNITY spirit was in force at the Cootamundra Ex-Service’s Club on Saturday night to raise money for former police officer Paul Wilcox.
Diagnosed earlier this year with a rare, inoperable form of cancer, Paul’s pancoast tumour did not respond to chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
He and wife Jennie has been given a beacon of hope though in the form of radiowave therapy, which is currently only offered in Germany and Perth, WA, and is not covered by Medicare.
Needing $12,000 for treatment, Jennie and Paul are happy to announce the Saturday night fundraiser brought in $13,500, which will also help them with the cost of travel and accommodation.
“We are overwhelmed and humbled by the support we’ve received,” Jennie said.
The couple left for Perth on Tuesday and will spent 31 days there, which includes three weeks of treatment for two hours every Monday to Friday.
“We’re hoping for a marked improvement in his pain levels, and about halfway through we’ll know if it’s working on his tumour,” Jennie explained.
“It could be tiring but there’s no nausea like you get with other treatment, so depending on Paul’s health we’ll hopefully be able to enjoy Perth as well.”
Jennie and Paul would like to thank everyone who turned up on the night to support them, including many women Paul helped in his years as the Cootamundra LAC domestic violence officer.
Jennifer Lukins, Rachael Braham, Kamahl Bennett, Jacki Boxall and Scott Sanders were all mentioned in particular for their help in organising fundraisers and assisting the Wilcox’s on their farm and personally.
Jennifer’s aunty was able to supply many of the most popular items in the silent auction, including a signed 2014 Roosters jersey and signed boots from players such as Sonny Bill Williams and Anthony Minichiello.
Paul and Jennie would also like to extend big thanks to CAN Assist for all their help during the initial rounds of treatment.
FAMILY MAN: Paul Wilcox and his wife Jen are hopeful the fundraising dinner will help to cover medical expenses.

29 April 2013 Paul had a small procedure today to take some biopsies. He is home tonight and for the next couple of days. We are all really tired tonight. The drs appointments started at 8.30 this morning and we have just got home. I will update more tomorrow. Including a photo of Paul’s alien “Ripley”. Below is a pic of Paul about to have his biopsie and when he got back.

14 May 2013 It’s not as bad as it looks. All the wires are just a heart monitor and oxygen tube. Just normal emergency department stuff. Though I must admit his heart rate did go up when I gave him a bed bath. Lol. He’s a lot more comfortable this afternoon. He’s even being cheeky to the nurses. They are about to move him to calvery as there are no bed at the base. Thank god for private health cover.
15 May 2013 After a long day that began with two hospitals losing Paul, followed by a stuff up in his chemo and three ambulance trips, Paul has finally settled in ICUS at Calvery Hospital. Before anyone panics, he’s only there because he needs to be on a heart monitor while his meds are sorted out and it was there or maternity. Our wonderful support people Jenni and Paul (yes that’s right) Lukins came down tonight and brought me a care package of Jamie’s, smokes and coffee. This pic is the two Paul’s discussing the fundamentals of urine bottles. Love you guys.

22 May 2013 The radiation burns are starting to show. Other than that Paul is coming along well.
29 May 2013 Strapped in and ready to go for radiation. Paul is now half way through his treatment. Today was hump day. It’s all down hill from here.
4 June 2013 I tried to post this last night. We are back in Wagga for the week. The effects of the chemo are starting to catch up with Paul. He now has nausea and vomiting every day and feels weak. On the good side he has no pain and he has lost his voice! This is him laying in bed last night sharing some chocolate with Nuf Nuf.
12 June 2013 My Chinese crispy skinned husband with lemon sauce. Pass the fried rice.
19 June 2013 Paul is spending the night at temora hospital. The doctor will see him in the morning. Honestly, he will go to any length to get out of chemo.
11 July 2013 Paul crossed something off his bucket list today.
8 August 2013 Bring back the goatee!

’twas the night before chemo and all through the house not a creature was stirring…….. Because it choked on Paul’s meds! That’s just one dose. Tomorrow morning is worserer.

We are off to sydney again tomorrow. Paul is 4 weeks post op and something is not right with his neck. The photo doesn’t show how bad it is. It’s all black and swollen and yesterday it split open in two places. The pain is unbearable. He’s on more pain meds now than when he had his chemo and al he does is sleep.

My sister took this photo of Paul this morning. It’s probably the best photo of him I’ve ever seen.
He has been feeling the effects of the chemo, but was up and outside this morning.
He is now having a lay down.
16 July 2014 It’s happened againPaul’s hair just fell out in the shower. All except his head hair and eyebrows.Somehow, it wasn’t as funny this time.At least he looks a lot healthier than he did last time.
16 July 2014 Thank you to our wonderfully supportive friends and to my parents for all you have done and continue to do. Love you all.

25 July 2014 Hi this is a picture of me Jenny. I am posting this picture because on the night of the dinner I am going to shave my head. There is a condition I want to raise $500 before I do it. So I can keep tabs on the amount when u donate please put “Jen Hair” as you reference in either the Go Fund Me link or the direct deposit. I hope I can get you all on board.
28 July 2014 We are staying in a motel for a couple of days. Paul is trying out the spa to see if it helps with his pain relief. — at Monte Villa.
29 July 2014 A slight mishap with the razor. Lol
I want to let everyone know that Paul took a sudden and unexpected down turn during the afternoon.
He is currently unconscious in Cootamundra Hospital and being transferred through to Wagga first thing in the morning for brain scans.
Drs are not sure what has happened, but feel it may be either a blood clot in the lung or brain, or a bleed on his brain.
I will let you all know more when I know.
18 August 2014 Anyone wanting to give Paul an uppercut, please get in line.After it being very touch and go through the night and family being called in from everywhere……This is him now!
Lookin good honey.
