I'm pleased to be able to share this short video with you, expressing some thoughts about "Go Fund Me", and the "Rife" treatment...

In March of 2018 I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer and had surgery several months later with the hope that I would be removing all of the cancer by removing my prostate. After the surgery I was informed that the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes and that it was a 9 out of 10 on the gleason scale, an indication that it was very aggressive. Consequently, this has put me in the stage 4 prostate cancer classification.
I began hormone treatment in July 2018 and have continued with that for a year now. The hormone treatment is not a cure. It simply stops the manufacture of testosterone, which the prostate cancer feeds off of. So far it has effectively stopped the spread of the cancer, but it has very unpleasant side effects. These are the ones I've been experiencing: chemical castration, sexual dysfunction, hot flashes, leg cramps, significant weight gain, severe fatigue, deterioration of the muscle mass, muscle and joint pain, depression and mood swings, insomnia, and increased risk of heart trouble ( I had cardiac arrest just over 5 years ago ). The development of osteoporosis is another possible side effect.
Sounds like one of those ads you see on TV for pharmaceutical products where they list all the side effects at the end, doesn't it?
Unfortunately, this is what you face with all of the Prostate cancer treatments here in Canada. The treatment options are hormone therapy, radiation, chemotherapy and in some cases immunotherapy, however, immunotherapy for prostate cancer is still in the development stage and is not considered a good bet at this point. My oncologist recently confided that the drugs currently being developed for Prostate immunotherapy might actually kill me, and he should know because he's the immunotherapy expert in Vancouver.
So, it's down to radiation and chemotherapy, and both of them cause cancer. Can you believe that? Cancer treatments that give you cancer. How crazy is that? And, they have a long list of additional side effects.
I might be able to stay on the hormone treatment for many years, but will also have to contend with all of the debilitating side effects. On the other hand, I've been told that because my cancer is so aggressive, the hormone treatment may stop working and then the cancer will start spreading. For this reason I am being advised to do radiation.
It's a very confusing situation, where each option seems equally as bad as the others.
However, I have found a treatment being offered in the United States that will kill cancer cells without affecting any other surrounding tissue, and there are no side effects.
It is called the "Rife" treatment and it involves eliminating the cancer cells with the use of a specific frequency.

I would very much like to pursue this treatment, but am unable to do this on my own. I am currently on disability, due to consequences from my prostate surgery as well as the above mentioned side effects from the hormone therapy.
I am hoping to raise the funds to pay for this treatment by starting this Go Fund Me page.
I would just like to add that, in general, the health care system's services, and those who provide them, have been remarkable. My comments about cancer treatments is a very specific observation and does not reflect on the system as a whole. My experience over the last year and a half has been an overwhelmingly positive one, with regard to the care I've received and the warmth and kindness of the people providing it.
I have also been fortified by the support of my family and friends. I'm incredibly grateful for their generosity and love.
Finally, I've been filled with wonder through the privilege of witnessing God's hand at work in my affairs, and through the joy and peace he has provided for me while everything seemed to be falling apart. I would surely have been lost otherwise.
