Treatment for Cancer (lymphoma) and MS
I have Multiple Sclerosis and Cancer.
Many things that were not only possible, but happened without thought. Instead, I face a long ordeal that can only end one way, whether it occurs fast or slow, is out of my control. That’s what Chronic is, lack of control.
To that end, I need to raise money to pay for a treatment, homeopathic stem cell treatment. Freaked me out at first too, I do not feel my life should be extended at the cost of another. The big difference between Homeopathic Stem Cells and other Stem Cells, is they are harvested from me, so in essence, I am aiding in my own ‘cure.’
Because the treatment is experimental, it is not covered by any insurance plan (government or private.) The treatment is very expensive and only offered in a few places in the world. I am working with my ‘team’ (sorry to say, I have a team,) to escalate my situation to the few places that can perform the procedure. The first concern is how I will pay for it. That is why I am asking for your help. Depending on where the procedure is performed, the direct cost range from $150,000.00 to $190,000.00. Indirect cost, (travel, hotels, etc.) range from $10,000.00 to $60,000.00.
The second hurdle I face, is my age. I have many children (started later,) all in primary or secondary education. I wish to be a greater part of their lives.
The treatment has a 80% positive impact, with a potential for negative (infectious,) outcomes. More information is at the link below:

I was diagnosed with MS on March 8, 2013. It is a day I will never forget.
In January, 2013 I was at a family get-together when MS exposed its head. I had severe balance issues, (I fell down,) and slurred speech. Following this rather embarrassing
event, I scheduled an appointment with my general practioner (a different one than the later mentioned.) He immediately recognized my symptoms as concerning but couldn’t pin-point the cause. A MRI was ordered. As it turns out, I was in the middle of a relapse; the MRI came back with a definitive diagnosis’ of MS. Unfortunately, it was too late for some portions of my life.

I will use the proceeds of the funding for medical expense for scheduling and completing a full HSCT treatment.
I need these funds because my insurance BCBS nor Medicare (B) will not cover this treatment. I would like to schedule and complete the treatment ASAP. I have a beautiful family who needs the whole me.
If you are able to help, the change to our lives will be beyond compare, if I could put a price on my old life, it was priceless, to change back is also priceless.
