Courtney's Hope 4 Cancer Healing Fund
Donation protected
For the past 2 and half years I have been living with metastatic breast cancer for which there is still no cure in the conventional medical world. At the time of this diagnosis in December of 2016, I was told I had approximately 2-5 years to live with the conventional drugs and treatments currently available for metastatic breast cancer. My husband and I were devastated. My thoughts immediately went to my 2 little girls who were only 5 and 2 1/2 years old at the time. When I left the oncologists office that day I made a promise to myself that I would be alive for much longer than that and I told my husband that I would do everything in my power to make that happen. So for the past 2 and half years that is what I have been doing. A combination of the life changing Full Extract Cannabis Oil, some targeted breast cancer drugs, and also a vast variety of alternative and complimentary treatments. We have made lifestyle and diet changes, as well as focused on self care, spirituality and emotional healing. We have also tried to make our environment and life as stress free as possible.
For almost 2 whole years things were going along so well. My cancer was completely stable and I was completely pain free and managed to get myself off a toxic cocktail of cancer pain meds thanks to full extract cannabis oil. 2019 however has been a tricky one. We have had continual disease progression, my pain has not been controlled and we have also exhausted all of the targeted therapies for my type of breast cancer. All that remains now is IV chemotherapy. The disease is still thankfully contained in my bones, however many of my bones are now diseased, my cancer markers are rising and blood work is starting to change. Cancer is really starting to ramp up in my body.
I want to try everything to tame this beast of a disease. I need it to stabilise, I want to rid my body of as many of those rouge cells as possible, and I need cancer to be kept at bay for a very long time so that I can be a mum to my 2 beautiful girls. To be able to do this I cannot rely on chemotherapy and treatments in this country alone. If I do this, my life from now on will consist of chemo after chemo with a few breaks here and there until the day I die. I must look outside the box or I won't live a long life. I owe myself, my incredible husband and especially my 2 little girls so much more than this. I need to be around for a very long time.
I am always researching this disease and I have decided to take a leap of faith and head over to MEXICO to Hope 4 Cancer in Cancun. Here they offer cutting edge non-toxic therapies and treatments that support your own bodies natural ability to heal itself. They focus on the person as a whole and address healing their cancer in many different ways,, Physically, emotionally and spiritually . There are so many success stories from this clinic, Including people who have been sent home to die by conventional doctors and who have turned their health around with Hope 4 Cancers innovative treatments. These type of treatments and therapies are not recognised or offered in our country for cancer. The program at Hope 4 Cancer is 3 weeks long, with intensive therapies 6 days a week. I will also be given a 3 month supply of take home medicines and therapies, and offered 3, 6 and 12 month follow ups at the clinic.
This does come at a huge cost though. The total is $51000 USD which is approximately $74500 AUD plus around $4000 for return flights for myself and my husband. I am putting my hand up to ask for help to get us there. Due to being diagnosed with a terminal illness I was thankfully able to have early access to my superannuation, however cancer is expensive, and it has been a very costly 2.5 years already. Mark has had to take time off work, we have had to purchase very costly cannabis oil, as well as pay for various other medications and treatments that I have been doing to try and help heal my body, and so $78500 is simply not something we can afford without help. Im asking for people to please donate if they can, and to share this page as much as possible.
Thank you so much for helping us heal my body so I can watch my beautiful girls grow into adults and one day hold some grand babies in my arms!
