Cancer treatment in China

Hi, my name is Lola, I'm fundraising for my cancer treatment.

I am 25 years old. I live in London. All my life I have been involved in rhythmic gymnastics. First I trained, then I trained others.

It so happened that in 2022 I was told that I had cancer. I was diagnosed with Acute B Lymphoblastic Lymphoma with bone marrow involvement stage 4 in 2022. From October 2022 to 2024, I have been undergoing treatment in England. In March 2023, I was in remission, in June 2023 I had a bone marrow transplant. In December 2023, there was a relapse. I realized that I had a relapse even before I was informed about it, because with each passing week my limbs began to hurt more and more. At first the ribs, then the legs, then the shoulder blades, and when the doctors told me about the relapse, I was not very surprised.

But when I started having pain all over my body at 10 out of 10. For those who don't know what it's like, it's when you crawl on the floor in pain, shouting, check your phone every 2 minutes because you know that the pill will only take effect in 45 minutes. It's scary. One day I was squeezing myself so hard that there were bruises from my hands and fingers.

In April 2024, the doctors came to me in the ward and said that they could no longer help me. That the lymphoma is developing too aggressively and actively. They have no more ways to treat me and I have from 1 to 8 months to live. Their main priority is to make sure that I do not suffer from pain. It was Monday and I was supposed to come for a routine blood check to the hospital, but instead I was urgently hospitalized because of pain. To understand in what condition I was - I don't remember who dragged my things. I don't know the people who helped me get into the elevator. A week later, I met nurses who said "thank God you're not in pain now" when I asked them how they knew, they said they helped me get to the ward or carried my bag. I didn't remember them at all.

Perhaps if it weren't for the large number of friends who immediately began to look for all possible options from homeopathy to doctors around the world, I would not have started fighting and doing anything.

Thanks to one of the doctor, we were able to reach the main Yanda clinic in Beijing.

This is the largest center throughout China and they agreed to treat me. They offer CAR T cell therapy. This is an artificially created T-lymphocyte receptor, through which this immune cell recognizes, activates, and destroys cancer upon interaction with it.

Despite the fact that I am currently on opioid strong painkillers, steroids, and chemotherapy, I am getting worse every day more and more. Even now I am writing and feeling excruciating pain in my lower back.

"some patients have experienced sudden deterioration in their condition within just one or two weeks. Therefore, it is advised to | proceed with CAR-T therapy as soon as possible to reduce risks and improve survival rates." this is from a letter from doctors from China. And I'm really scared that I'm getting worse.

Therefore, you need to leave as soon as possible. And the only thing that stops me is money.

Treatment costs $ 100,000. For me, this amount is huge.

My relatives and friends are trying to find this money, help as they can, for which I am insanely grateful to them. You won't believe it, but the children I used to train knit toys, sell them to each other, and collect money for me, for me it is probably the strongest manifestation of love and a desire to help.

I would really like us to be able to manage with just this, but I am forced to ask for your help and open a fundraiser for treatment in China.

So if you can, if you want to help even 1 pound, I beg you very much about this

For me it is vital now.
