Funding Bill's Cancer Treatment

Donation protected
My name is Bill, and I am a newly married husband, a father, proud grandfather and great-grandfather. I lost my first precious wife, Kay, to Alzheimer’s disease in 2017. I took care of her at home for 10 years. Unfortunately during this time, I ignored my own health as I was overwhelmed with care-taking. In 2018, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

I followed my doctor’s recommendations and went through 45 rounds of radiation treatments. Life was looking up… I remarried my best friend Valery in 2020, and we both were so happy to have a 2nd chance at a happy life together. Unfortunately, about 6 months later, the cancer had returned and by then, it was in my lymph nodes and spine. I was advised at that point to begin taking an oral cancer pill called Xtandi, which stopped working after about 6 months. The oncology team then directed me to undergo 6 rounds of chemo (1 every 3 weeks). I had several PET scans throughout my months on chemo showing tumor growth shrinking. My final scan showed mixed results, some good, but more lesions have started. My wife and my family were heartbroken with this news.

I am now at a crossroads in my life. I have been failed by our modern, conventional cancer therapies with side effects having ravaged my body and have not cured but made things worse. On the positive side, I have learned that there may be a better way. I still have a window of opportunity to seek medical treatment from another country. There are nontoxic, science-based treatments that are being done successfully in Mexico. Unfortunately, these treatments are not currently available within the United States.

I have contacted a treatment center in Mexico. I have researched this clinic extensively. They are willing to take on my case using methods that use what God has put on this earth for our healing. There has been much prayer over this decision to seek medical help outside this country. It is very expensive as insurance does not cover these treatments. The treatments are designed to bring my body back to a healthy state where it can fight off the disease on its own.

Me, my wife, and my family would be forever grateful for any financial support you could give us during this hard time in our lives. We do not have the financial means to do this on our own. I am a blessed man to have so many people in my life that love me and I love them. By the grace and mercy of our Lord, I am asking to be given more time to share with my loved ones. Thank you for reading my story and your kindness!
