Juliana's battle with Cancer

Donation protected

September 2017, Juliana started experiencing pain in her shoulder. When going to the doctor, she was told it was just tendinitis and given inflammatory's and that it would resolve itself. After a month of on going pain, she returned to the doctor and was now told it was a torn bicep tendon and was recommended to physio therapy. Juliana did the therapy for a while and found no results. She went back and was referred to Ajax shoulder center, and was told now that it was a frozen shoulder. They administered cortisone shots and informed her that the frozen shoulder would resolve itself. Juliana then continued to try alternatives at home such as, acupuncture, heating pads, ice packs, stretching, tiger balm and voltern and still found no results.  After 9 months of pain a friend referred Juliana to another physio therapist who upon seeing her right away sent her to the hospital and scans done. Once Juliana did the tests, she was informed by the doctors that she had Osteosarcoma. Which is an aggressive bone cancer, which had metastasized (spread) to the lungs. Due to being misdiagnosed for several months, several times. The doctors informed Juliana that the cancer was incurable and inoperable. Juliana was given a 30% chance to live , which is 3-5 years. Juliana was put on chemo therapy right away, and did 2 sessions. With no results, the doctors advised her the chemo therapy was not working. Juliana has no chosen to try an alternative route. She has started O-Zone therapy which has costed her $5000 in just blood tests. Her O-Zone treatments, which are 3 sessions a week along with Vitamin C injections are costing her $1000 a week. Juliana is also trying to go abroad and receive treatment that is not available in Canada or the United States, which is costing her 18, 955 USD for 3 weeks and that is assuming she would only need 3 weeks. Our goal is to raise as much as we can to aid Juliana's battle. Doctors have informed Juliana that she is incurable and left her with little hope. Our intention is to try and find a way to beat the odds or at least have Juliana live a comfortable life with the cancer. Choosing the natural and alternative route is expensive, but at this point our only hope. Our family has come together to try and make this happen for her and hope that you find it in your hearts to help her cause. Thank you for taking the time to read Juliana's story. and we hope you will take a little more time in sharing and spreading the word.
