My name is Bessem Ebanga Bisong, aged 42 , seeking financial support to undergo treatment for breast and Lung cancer. It all started in February 2019 when I discovered I had a lump in my breast and after proper examination through a biopsy it was concluded that it is a stage 1 breast cancer. After doing all the prescribed tests, I was placed on chemotherapy while waiting for the test that gives more precise details and treatment of the cancer.

After 4 series of chemotherapies, the test finally came indicating that my cancer is hormonal. Chemo was stopped and I was put on a hormonal treatment which entails taking a tablet per day for 5 years. Alongside the treatment, I had surgery whereby my entire left breast was taken off.

The next step of my treatment was to do radiotherapy. This I could not do because the only machine we have in Cameroon is in Douala and by the time I went for my appointment it was bad and put out of service till further notice. While waiting, I carried on with my hormonal therapy while going for check- ups as prescribed by the doctor.

After being on the hormones for more than 8 months, I noticed another lump growing directly on the scar of the surgery. This lump was removed, tested and the results came back positive of cancer. Along the line I also had this dry cough for months that just won’t go away no matter what drugs I was prescribed.

With all these happenings, I was prescribed a total body scan. The results came back not only showing that the cancer in the breast is still there, but also it had moved to the lungs. I was immediately asked to stop the hormonal therapy and was placed on another 4 series of chemo which I did.

Unfortunately further investigation showed that the chemo only stabilized the cancer both in the breast and lungs instead of eradicating it.

With all these, it was concluded that all the different treatments I have had so far have not been successful.

At this point the doctor completely changed the treatment and placed me on double therapy ie hormones and chemo. This treatment is so radical and I wonder if my body will be able to stand it. After taking just 2 secessions of this combined therapy, I have lost more than 14 kilos.

In a nutshell, the past 2 years have been full of expenses for treatment with no improvement. Strongly believe there is a possible medical solution for complete healing.

I was recommended to Global Medical facilitating medical evacuation in Cameroon and together with their support the sorted for a more advanced medical treatment in India which will cost 16000USD with a 95% chances of survival . Within 2 year I have spent all my saving and my condition keep worsening by the day. I believe through the GO FUND ME with every small support I will achieve my dreams of seeking an advance treatment in India.

 

I therefore use this opportunity and medium to plead with everyone who will come across my story, that your financial assistance no matter how small will go a long way to help me get proper treatment.

 

Thank you and God bless you.
