Amy’s German immunotherapy fundraise

Hello all, as I come to the end of my options with NHS standard treatment of care, I’m turning to my network to partially fund immunotherapy in Germany. I have raised nearly £100k for the Brain Tumour Charity so I hope that I can lean into my network to at least partially raise funds for my treatment outside the NHS. Rest assured 100% of the funds that I raise will go towards the immunotherapy.

WHAT? Immunotherapy in Germany. CeGaT to be precise in Tubingen. They offer a peptide vaccine which has shown great results in extending life.

WHY? I have incurable stage 4 brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme (GBMIV) with a prognosis of 12-18 months. I have survived so far 13 months and I’m determined to defy the odds and be a long term survivor which 5% of sufferers are. I want to beat the odds to spend as long as I can with my young son. I originally had the cancer in both my right and left frontal lobes, unfortunately it has spread to my left parietal lobe. I have received NHS standard treatment of care with neurosurgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However the journey is far from over and I’ve committed to German immunotherapy.

WHEN? I will start my treatment at the end of the summer and it will last 1 year including monthly trips to Stuttgart (which I intend to self fund through air miles and on occasion driving).
