Ken's Lymphoma Battle
Donation protected
Ken's battle with Mantle Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma began about January of 2016, but wasn't diagnosed until April of 2016. We tried some natural ways of healing, but it wasn't enough. August 2016 through January 2017 Ken received six rounds of chemo, which helped knock the cancer back, but never put him in remission.
Early 2018 it was obvious the lymphoma was coming back strong. Again we have tried to fight it with many non-toxic supplements and treatments, but it hasn't been enough. Many people have suggested going to a Mexican cancer clinic for treatment, but the costs are so high we kept trying other things.
Of course chemo is an option, but we have been told that it will knock it down again, but that Ken will never be cancer free. And of course chemo has it's side effects.
The way Ken's cancer makes itself most evident is that his abdomen fills with fluid produced by the cancer cells. This becomes quite uncomfortable after a while as the space for air, food, and water becomes limited and the fluid begins going into his legs and feet as well. This is currently happening as it did in 2016.
Since traditional chemotherapy doesn't offer any hope of remission after much prayer and study we have decided to go to Mexico for treatment. They are able to use treatments there that are not allowed in the US. The clinic we have chosen is "Hope 4 Cancer". After comparing several clinics and consulting with others we have concluded that they offer the most advanced treatments and the most variety of treatments. Because of this they are also very expensive. The total cost of three weeks of treatment is $53,400. This does include two machines that we will bring home to continue his treatment. It also includes a number of treatment supplements for 3 months and a return visit for a check-up at 3 months.
We have already spent thousands of dollars in this cancer battle and have put in $20,000 of our money towards this treatment at Hope 4 Cancer. As uncomfortable as this makes us to ask others for help, we have decided to give people an opportunity to participate. We only have 3 weeks to raise the funds. If you would like to help, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We solicit your prayers most of all. We know God is the ultimate Healer.
