Hello Everyone, Thank you for visiting my GoFundMe page.
Here is a little about me so far…
My name is Dominic Bergin I am 34 years old from Derby and engaged to my beautiful fiancée Robyn whom I was set to marry June 2017. Unfortunately my health has taken a turn for the worst and Doctors have given me 6 months to a year to live. This is due to the limited treatment options available in this country, this means I am having to seek medical treatment abroad to save my life and will cost in the region of £250,000
I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Bowel cancer back in February 2014, I had two tumours in my large intestine which was removed in one go to take them away and hopefully stop it spreading elsewhere, I now have a permanent ileostomy. I was then given a 6 month course of Capecitabine Chemotherapy to help eradicate any other cancer cells.
All seemed to be going well until March last year when I started to experience some different symptoms, tests were done but no sign of the cancer returning was found.
In August 2015 I had a second operation to remove the rectal stump and make the ileostomy permanent, during the operation they had found that the cancer had returned and was attached to the rectal stump and had also grown into the bladder wall.
This was now Stage 4 Secondary Bowel Cancer, it had also spread to the omentum and an area near my pelvis. Due to them finding this they were unable to complete the operation.
Once I was healed from the failed operation I was put on a new more intensive Chemotherapy of Folfiri regime, this seemed to be working and shrinking the tumour. Since March when the treatment cycle finished I have been off all treatment and the Stage 4 Secondary Bowel Cancer has now spread to my bones in my pelvis and also near the coccyx. The treatment offered in the UK is pointless as i will die either way. So my only option is to come to Germany to have advanced immunotherapy that can save my life
Treatment Options
We have now started treatment at the Hallwang Clinic in Germany and it is all looking very promising, each day there is great news coming from patients that are also having targeted lifesaving cancer treatments here and gives everyone a great boost and there is a great atmosphere here amongst all staff and patients.
the Treatments I will be having over the next year will include
Folfox Chemotherapy Regime
Removab Immunotherapy
HER2 Vaccination
GP2 Vaccination
EPcam Vacination
Supportive treatments which include
Vitamin C, Curcumin, Liver detoxes, etc
The cost of these treatments are more than we alone can afford and this is why we need your help, we have managed to get the first few weeks of funding and looking at what our next options are to keep the donations coming in.
After the first 3 weeks of treatment we are then having to come back every 2 weeks for further treatment which will cost in the region of 30,000 Euros so we really do need to keep on pushing this.
As you can see it is an enormous amount of money but the Hallwang Clinic offer me the chance to get my cancer back into remission and lead a full and happy life so I can marry the love of my life Robyn
From Robyn my Fiancee
"Hi my name is Robyn but this isn’t about me this is about my best friend and fiancé Dominic Bergin.
We recently found out the heart breaking news that his cancer has spread and was told by the Oncologist he could have only 6 to 12 months left to live. We are very determined to fight and find a way to further his life!
Dominic is 34 years old from Derby, he is the strongest and bravest man I know!"
"Like I said earlier he is my best friend and will one day be my husband. I love him so much and wouldn’t wish this pain on anybody. Those who know him know how positive he has been throughout his ordeal, kept smiling through the treatments and joking whilst recovering from the surgeries. Never once felt sorry for himself but instead kept going strong and determined. I am so proud to be in his life and I will be by his side for as long as he’ll have me there. I cannot wait to become his wife, we dream to have a family of our own one day."
