Help Sharon Beat Cancer

The Beginning

My life radically changed in September of 2020. I woke up with a pain in my right side with no idea what was awaiting me. I imagined it was probably my gall bladder or maybe appendicitis. I went to our local urgent care, and the next day, the diagnosis was Stage 4 colon cancer that metastasized to my liver. 

The Prognosis

What came next was a barrage of tests, biopsies, and an installation of a port to receive chemotherapy. 13 treatments and 9 months later my doctor told me, "because the cancer had spread to other organs and cannot be surgically removed, our current available treatments will not be able to cure the cancer." Essentially, I was being told it's inoperable and incurable... at least with the treatments my oncologist has at their disposal. I could not accept that fate and went on a mission to find an alternative. 

My Discovery

What I discovered is a clinic in Minnesota that offers an entirely different approach to treating cancer by focusing on the cause and not the cancer itself. It's called The Conners Clinic I have an appointment on June 14th to spend two days there for an array of tests and come home with an armload of resources, therapies I can continue at home, a nutritional plan, as well as ongoing support with weekly meetings with the doctors, staff, and other patients. While this approach may seem unconventional, this is a better way to heal than to suffer through more rounds of chemotherapy for a cure that even my oncologist stated was unlikely. 

What the Treatment Entails and Cost

At the Conners Clinic, their approach may be unique, however, some of the same therapies are used by NASA to keep their astronauts healthy and in top shape. They tailor therapies to the individual's needs and may include Rife therapy, PEMF, sound therapy, laser therapy, IV vitamin C, among others listed here I will bring home a Rife machine along with a computer, a nutritional plan, and other resources to encourage my healing. 

The total cost for the 2-day intensive at the clinic is $23,800. I feel it is money well spent considering it could not only save my life, but I will bring home equipment and have ongoing support with the doctors, staff, and other patients. Along with the expense of treatment, my wife and I will have the additional costs of travel to Minnesota such as airfare, hotel, and car rental, along with any supplements that may be recommended.  Every penny we receive will be put to good use. 

Time is of the Essence

My wife, Elayne, and I are heading to Minnesota on June 13th, so donations are much appreciated as soon as you can send them. I plan to add updates and pictures of our journey so you all feel included as well as showing my heartfelt appreciation of this unique opportunity.
