Steven Donaldson Stage IV Prostate Cancer Battle

UPDATE

Great news for all which is in the photo above. Dad will be around for “many more years” as his specialist have said. We are all excited to share the news with everyone. Tears of joy have been brought on the whole family! A big thanks to everyone that took the time to share and donate for our dad, it has meant a lot to the family as a whole. We now have our dad for longer❤️

Hi, my name is Sasha and i’m fundraising for my dad. Here’s his story for you. Back in 2019, my dad, the amazing one of a kind took 5 massive heart attacks. He had to get resuscitated twice as he flatlined whilst getting 4 stents in his heart. There was someone up above looking down on my dad that day protecting him. I remember being 14 sitting on the couch with my older sister (17) and my younger brother (7) watching movies waiting for news about my dad. my younger brother had fallen asleep on the couch at the point where my mum had came in from the hospital to let us know about what had happened and what had been done to save my dad, the most caring person in the world. me and my sister got to know the full story, but my younger brother was told “half of your dads heart is broken, the nurses at the hospital are fixing it he will be alright”. My mum broke down after it, me and my sister knew fine well it was going to be hard. It has been hard i can admit that. Now to the 13th of December 2023, My dad had a terrible fall backwards and broke his neck (c2 breakage), he got an MRI scan and it showed up with nodules of cancer deposits on his right lung and the top of his spine. After a CAT scan and a full body MRI scan it showed up almost everywhere in his body. We found out it originated from his prostate, this was the most heartbreaking news we had gotten, our family is devastated. I will admit it feels weird, it feels untrue. Finding out your dad is terminally ill is something you only thought you’d hear in movies and tv shows. My dad got his first dose of radiotherapy and has had 3 doses of hormone therapy to prolong his life as much as possible. All my dad wants now is to raise enough money for alternative therapies or treatments including RSO etc these therapies maybe not proven but we are willing to give anything a chance. It would mean so much to all of us as a family if you can even donate £1 - £5 or even take time to share the post. I know it’s a long shot but we want to cherish the time we have left with our dad. I hope everyone that reads this can understand. My dad is one of a kind for anyone that knows him personally he never asks for anything, he is his children’s best friend, he taught us many things in life to help us grow as individuals, he healed us of things we never thought existed, he reminded us we are loved, he is our hero. ❤️
