Dion's Life Saving Treatment
Donation protected
On the first month of August 2014, Dion Barter was thrown a huge challenge which was about to change his whole life.
Dion is a 38 year old loving father of Chloe (16), Ayden (14), Josh (12) and Caelam (3) who has devoted his life to his kids.
Dion was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer called “Osteosarcoma”.
In January 2015, Dion had an operation to remove his knee and half his fema.
Dion went through over 10 months of chemo therapy and over a year of rehabilitation.
Just as he felt that he was feeling better and thinking that he could move on in life; a routine check-up was soon to change all that.
In September 2016 during a routine CT scan it was revealed that the cancer had come back into his lungs.
The doctor was to mention that he had 5 spots throughout both his lungs and at this stage they were small.
The biggest was 1cm in diameter.
After the shocking news given to Dion, the doctors where then to say that there will not be any options for treating this aggressive form of cancer in Australia.
After hearing that, Dion then went onto saucing natural treatment for the next 5 months which didn’t appear to have worked; at the latest scans have shown an increase in size by 45%.
In the meantime doctors are starting radiation therapy.
Dion had his first round on the 6th March as a palliative treatment only.
Dion’s treatment will consist of 5 days of radiation treatment then two days off, followed by another 5 days of treatment.
Dion; in the meantime has, since contacted the hallwang clinic in Germany that have a very high success rate with stage 4 cancer patients.
Just to make things harder; this treatment is not available in Australia so Dion will need to travel to Germany.
They have provided Dion with a treatment plan which they say that there is an 80% success rate with his particular form of cancer.
Although this sounds very promising, it does come with a very higher Financial cost of $110,461EUR. ($154,000 Australian dollars).
Please help us help a loving Farther, Partner, Brother and son so that we can enjoy many years to come with this amazing man.
We can’t help everyone but everyone can help someone:
