Fund Raising for Cancer Treatment
Donation protected
It is with a sad heart I report that in early December, it was confirmed that my brother David B.T. Dopwell (known on the island of St. Vincent as EARTHQUAKE) was diagnosed with cancer. There were not many options available to him and unfortunately due to him being 5 years past the age 60 threshold, he does not qualify for medical coverage any longer with his credit union there. I was able to locate a surgeon who has been very instrumental in communicating with us and is willing to operate, however, he will first have to undergo 6 rounds of chemo and radiation therapy to shrink the mass prior to surgery taking place. Unfortunately, the cost for the chemo/radiation and surgery will have to be covered by my brother. This is extremely costly, I am therefore trying to raise as much funds as possible to help offset the cost and would greatly appreciate any form of support you can contribute towards these efforts. The good thing is as of the last MRI and CT scan, the cancer has not spread - so time is crucial to the successful removal of this tumor before that happens. Thank you in advance for your help.
