Story

I need to your help.

As many of you will know in 2018 i was diagnosed with a very rare type of soft tissue cancer called Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma. It was found to be aggressive and inoperable due to its location.

In 2018 i underwent 3 rounds of a gruelling chemotherapy regime which had to be stopped due to severe side effects. This regime has actually now been stopped all together due to its toxictiy. I then completed 36 rounds of palliaitve radiotherapy and was sent home to try to enjoy the limited time i had left as i was out of treatment options.

During this time i looked for a different way desperate to survive. This is when I found camphill wellbeing trust in Aberdeen and followed their anthromedicine approach to cancer and started Mistletoe therapy.

This has given 6 years of stablish disease with minimal growth.

But in August 2023 the tumour started to grow aggressively again and i was given a prognosis of months as there was still no treatment available. But im still here alive and kicking a year later. Though it has been steadily growing into my jaw and mouth causing alot of pain and quickly moving towards essential arteries.

Luckily cancer treatment moves on and recently a new chemo regime has become available to me which i will start in the next month. To give this life line the best chance of success I will be using a intergrative approach using IV vitamin C, mistletoe therepy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and accupuncture to weaken the tumour, boost the chemo and hopefully reduce the side effects.

Everything i will be doing has scientific evidence behind it and has been recommended by an experienced doctor. This regime would be common practice in other countries such as Germany.

Due to the tumour progression and impending treatment, I am currently not able to work and cannot fund the Vitamin C therapy. This is an essential part of my regime. I need help to raise 10k to pay for it.

I do not want to be lying on my death bed with any whats ifs so please help me give this cancer a good kicking so i can spend more time with my beautiful family and friends.

Thank you so much

Love Cara
