<div>Here's the short story:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello, I'm 26, a crypto degen through and through. Normally, I'm chilling with my brother in Tenerife, but life's thrown a curveball, and now I'm stuck back in Latvia with my mom and my two younger bros, since dad was never in the picture. Life's been one big strugle for us, but this last hand dealt me something worse than a rug pull.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Back in December, right after I was drowning my sorrows in the holiday spirit, I noticed this weird lump on my back. Thought it was just from sleeping like a bum in my chair since my dog passed - it was too painful to go back to my bed without him. Fast forward through some chaotic family Christmas in my old town, and this thing on my back turned from a minor annoyance to a full-blown nightmare.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doctors, scans, more doctors - by New Year's, I was barely standing without screaming in pain. Turns out, I've got Stage 4 high-grade sarcoma, the kind that's growing faster than a shitcoin pump. The prognosis? Chemo ASAP and maybe surgery if I'm lucky.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here's the kicker - Latvia's healthcare is slower than Bitcoin transactions in 2017, so I've been shopping around for treatments abroad.
</div>
<div>I'm not ready to cash out on life; I'm too young and I've too much things still yet to learn and do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks for any help, tips, or just good vibes. Let's make this the biggest comeback story in history.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Big thanks for all the help and support I have already received from the DefiDegenerates Discord group, especially giga chad @DeFiDownsin, as well as big thanks to @draukan_eth and the @Nifty_Island community, aswell as big love to my family and my brother @Gvido15 for all the suport so far!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Small update : was hospitalized for a day which lead me to new doctor.
</div>
<div>First time in 2 months after talking to dozen so called "doctors" I met a proper one she explained sadly I hit the jackpot of honeypots - found out that I sadly got so lucky that I have one of the rarest types of sarcoma cancers possible its killing me faster cause im still young, and in my country (Latvia) im the 2nd patient over 5 years that has had something like this, she explained we can begin chemo in few days but the issue would be that they have so little research available about sarcomas that they would be basically guessing which chemicals could help or maybe she even noted that they can make everything even worse.
</div>
<div>Which led me to asking about treatments abroad - we went over few options but when she found out im a resident in Spain and have people/home there she explained best thing I can do is get into a plane asap, cause in Spain they are so further developed in medicine and experience with sarcomas that they should have a treatment plan ready in days, so thats what im doing!
</div>
<div>Froze my sperm today for 10 years cause I also found out I wont be fertile after first chemo, signed out from hospital and bought plane tickets back to Spain. I gotta fly in 9 hours so im going for a nap.
</div>
<div>(got tickets from money donated by DeFiDegenerates group) shotout to all the legends there!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Long awaited update : did the 2nd chemo course for 5 days 8 hours a day, dont think im reacting too good to it myself, as I can feel it growing the day what feels... its very stresfull as we are becoming quite desperate for job offers or any help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To be honest its hard... I wanna stay strong, but sadly money at this point is hardest. As I cant work or do things properly anymore, I have went threw all my savings/donations and im gonna barely pay this months bills leaving me without anything left... any help is appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Update - its been hella rough, chemo got to me much more than I expected and I ran out of pills I used against side effects... Constant vomiting and unable to eat anything when they are giving me chemo, but its better now after being home for a week.
</div>
<div>5th chemo starts 08.05.25.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I begin my 5th chemo tommorow and I know its gonna put me down for few days.
</div>
<div>So im here asking for help if you can donate anything please do. ❤️
</div>
<div>I currently have no more than 20 euro left to my name and sadly, I dont know how can I survive this month or even drive to hospital.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds so far have been used for food items (nothing with sugar or unhealthy), this months utility bills, petrol for trips to and from hospital, and some natural powder pills like Diabet Skin DeTox which helps against the side effects of chemotherapy.
