Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I was diagnosed with a very rare cancer in February 2021. I have undergone a year of traditional treatment including platinum chemotherapy, low dose chemotherapy, radiation and brachytherapy. In conjunction with this, I undertook a complimentary programme including specific supplements to target metabolic pathways, off-label drugs, oxygen therapy, high dose intravenous vitamin C, mistletoe injections, reiki and a strict vegan diet.
I did much better than the oncologist expected and got into remission in December of last year. Unfortunately, I didn't stay in remission and relapsed with secondary lung cancer in May this year. Unfortunately, my options to recommence traditional therapies are now very limited. I paid to have tumour profiling undertaken which showed that my cancer has zero mutations and is PDL1 negative which means immunotherapy and targeted therapies won't work, and if I have any more chemotherapy then it is likely that the cancer will become chemo-resistant.
So my only remaining plan of action is integrative care. Off-label drugs and supplements have been found to block key metabolic pathways with the aim of stressing the cancer cells to the point of self-destructing. Therapies such as infrared sauna, PEMF, oxygen therapy, high dose IV Vit C and mistletoe injections are used routinely in other developed countries and all have proven cancer-fighting properties. However, none of this is available in the UK on the NHS, it is very expensive and I can't afford to do it alone. The reality is that at the time I need money the most, I have been unable to work and after 18 months funds have very much dried up. To date, I have spent over £35,000 on tumour profiling, gut profiling, drugs, supplements, and therapies in order to continue to fight the cancer and give myself the chance of getting back into remission. I am so grateful for anything that is donated - it literally is keeping me alive and giving me precious time with my kids and family.
