Hi my name is Steve and I am fundraising for a treatment called cellular immunotherapy also known as adoptive cell transfer and his treatment is available to me abroad rather Japan or Boston USA as in this country the national institutes of health and care excellence does not ok this treatments in England as they do not know enough about it to give the go ahead on the NHS. I found out 5 months ago go that I have have my myeloma which is a cancer of the red blood cells in my bones and I've been having chemotherapy twice a week as well as medication on a daily basis. I sought my consultant specialist last week and was told at the treatments does not seem to be working as well as they hoped and have now giving me some bad news as if I do not have this treatment that I may not see another 2 years and my life if and I will deteriorate very quickly then she told me that the cost of this treatment for doctors consultants medication come to around £25,000 and I will have to to fly to America Boston to have this treatment as this is not permitted in England. I have a wife and two girls and I work as a self-employed plumber work is very hard to come by at moment as can only do very small jobs because of pain I have in my joints and lower back so money that I do get goes towards the bills and mortgage which is a big struggle at the moment. I am 52 years old I thought I was quite a healthy person as I've always tried to keep myself fit and strong as when I was 19 I had colon cancer but I managed to beat that and live a good life. I've never been a person that likes to ask people for help as I know so everyone has their personal problems and I just don't want to burden people with my butt through people that I know that I raise money through this website and achieved good things for other people I thought I might try this myself as I have exhausted all other avenues so I'll be very grateful and appreciative if anyone could find the way in helping me anyway they can thanks for reading this message.
