Please help our Mom beat cancer
Donation protected
Our mom is currently working toward becoming a cancer survivor again. In 2006, after being diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma cervical cancer, she had a radical hysterectomy. She spent eight years cancer free! In October of 2013 she noticed a bump on her leg; the cancer had returned in the pelvis and groin. Despite having a team of chiropractic and naturopathic doctors, the pain became unbearable, and she started chemotherapy. She finished out the 6 weeks of radiation, but had to stop chemotherapy prematurely due to high fevers. She has been receiving Vitamin C intravenously at NVRH since.
Our mom had a PET scan November of 2014 that showed promise of her cancer responding to treatment. Unfortunately, less than a month later, she noticed a former cancerous spot on her leg changing shape and eventually growing. She followed up with an oncologist and was told surgery was not an option.
After 10 chemotherapy treatments since February, she had such severe abdominal pain that she went the emergency department. A CT scan with contrast found that the cancer had grown. The pain she was experiencing was caused by a tumor cutting off the drainage from her right kidney. We also discovered two new spots on her right lung.
Alternative treatments alongside chemotherapy had not worked, and surgery is not a treatment or a cure.
Our mom arranged a meeting with oncology, palliative care, and a trusted friend who happens to be a doctor as well. Their research found a clinical trial involving chemotherapy drugs and antibodies. As we proceed forward, We are asking for any type of financial help with travel expenses and ongoing naturopathic care and nutritional supplements and personal bills. We also have been informed about a "Rife Machine" that has some amazing health benefits. That shrinks tumors and kills cancer. Our Mom has talked to local people who use and believe in this Rife Machine. The cost of the machine she would need is around 4,000.00. Her insurance covers the bulk of her medical expenses with the exception of co-pays. Clinical trials can be anywhere; but we have located some in the Northeast, ranging from Massachusetts up through Maine. With any luck, one of these treatment centers will have an opening for her. We are hoping to hear something back in the beginning of November.
Through discussions with our mom, We have learned that she feels the past two years of coping with this cancer has taught her a lot. It has shown her the beauty of each day, the beauty of each soul; and it has strengthened her to show people who she really is. A person who she has kept held inside for too many years. She is a strong believer that anything can be healed. So she lives each day with gratitude, hope, and believing in God and herself that someday she will conquer this and be Cancer-Free! Returning back to work and continuing to always help others!!
We would like to thank each and every one of you for your time. God Bless.
