Need Time Off Work to Fight Cancer

Donation protected
I recently received lab results pointing toward myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), along with a confirmed TP53 deletion that makes the prognosis significantly more serious.

A recent PET scan showed that malignancy is still present in the same area where I previously had a lumpectomy. New masses have also developed, and I now need surgery. Because of the TP53 deletion and coexisting autoinflammatory diseases (CAPS and Yao syndrome), treatment is complex and high-risk.

I’m asking for support so I can temporarily step back from work to focus fully on surgery, follow-up imaging, and ongoing diagnostics, including a bone marrow biopsy and possible specialist referrals.

Your donation will help cover rent and essential bills while I pursue the care I need without compromising my health further.

Thank you for supporting me during this critical time.
