Help Anders Ferry a real life hero
Donation protected
Anders Ferry: father, son, husband, hero.
Hero is a term used often too easily, but in the case of Anders Ferry, it is one nobody would deny him.
Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at the age of 32 in 1999, Anders was given 2 years to live. 18 years, 5 neurosurgeries, and 2 children later, Anders has become a champion to cancer patients all over the world: Under the alias Andrew Yassin, he has helped thousands of patients navigate the landscape of terminal diagnosis, whereby patients are effectively told to 'go home and make the most of the time you have left'.... something Anders could never accept.
Battling back from the brink, not once but 5 times, Anders' pro-active and science based approach has been a model others have sought to follow. However, not sharing his scientific background, thousands of desperate people have sought his counsel over the last two decades. Despite his own devastating health problems, Anders has never refused a call for help from anyone.
His story has been documented in the acclaimed documentary Surviving Terminal Cancer, and you can see an extract of the film on this page.
Now, Anders cancer has returned a 6th time, this time
inoperable, deep in his brain. Told to go home and make the most of his time left, yet again, Anders is not giving up on life, and his young family. He has worked with a famous neuro-oncologist in Germany to put together an aggressive immunotherapy cocktail, once again volunteering as a human guinea pig. After one cycle Ander's is showing remarkable improvement, and the idea of having to stop due to financial problems is unthinkable.
Treatment & Costs
His family has never asked for financial help over the last 18 years, but now with his father's pension exhausted and no more support available from the Swedish medical system, there is no other option. Anders needs financial support as soon as possible, to enable him to complete the treatment he has started. This involves 8 trips from northern Sweden to the clinic in Germany, and Anders condition means he is not well enough to travel unaccompanied.
Please help us give Anders a fighting chance, he has done it before, and he can do it again.
