Story
My wife, Beverley, went to the doctors with a routine cough and cold complaint in August 2018. After a Endoscopy showed up some areas of concern, further tests including biopsies and scans uncovered stomach cancer that had been there for over 12 months. Nine weeks of Chemotherapy were completed in an attempt to reduce the tumour and stop any spread.
In January she had an operation to remove her stomach in an attempt to cure her cancer. The surgeons had to abort the operation when they discovered that the cancer had already spread to areas outside of the stomach.
The cancer is inoperable so we have to resort to drugs and alternative solutions. The surgeon at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford who performed the operation has urged us to try Immunotherapy in combating the disease. This is available through private healthcare in Europe but only as clinical trials through the NHS in the UK. There are no trials currently open to us so to help this amazing 55 year old woman, wife, mother, grandmother and friend I am asking for your incredible help. The money will help provide the Immunotherapy or Heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in Germany and give Beverley the hope and determination to beat this horrible disease.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of our children; grandchildren, family, friends and most importantly; Beverley.

5 years agoBev had surgery in Berlin on Thursday and they have removed her stomach which had the tumour in and also parts of the peritoneum that were cancerous. They successfully removed 99% of the cancer cells through this. They have then administered a process called HIPEC that pumps heated chemotherapy through the abdomen to attack the residue left over. We will be in Berlin until next Sunday if she has recuperated sufficiently. She will need another few cycles of chemo in a few weeks to really kick its ass and win this battle. Thanks so much all! xxx

5 years agoWe visited a new clinic in Berlin this week which specialises in treating Peritoneal disease (this is where the stomach cancer has spread to). This is currently incurable but big strides are happening in combating it - but not available in the UK. We are going back to Berlin on the 22nd April for a week of tests and treatments. If the conditions are favourable (fingers crossed) we can then have a treatment called HIPEC, in the near future, that can really kick this cancers arse. This is quite expensive (£30k +) so the fund raising continues!

5 years agoThanks for your continued support all of you! Back off to Frankfurt today for more treatment. We have also paid (thanks to the amazing contributions) to get a genetic profile of the cancer cells so we can find out what immunotherapy drugs may help Bev. Awaiting the report from the States so we can start this process. 🤞 Love and best wishes to you all Chris & Bev
