Help Damian Beat Lung Cancer — Treatment Fund

Hi, Damian here. Some of you may know me from Cardiff, Mallorca, or Koh Samui, perhaps sharing a laugh in one of my restaurants or bars over the years, and some of you may not.

Sadly, I’m now facing something that isn’t on any menu: I’ve been diagnosed with lung cancer. Two months ago, doctors found a 5 cm tumour in my right lung and an affected lymph node. It was a huge shock, as you can imagine, to hear this in my 40s, but my doctors have been clear: with the right treatment, there’s every chance I can make a full recovery.

It will be a tough journey, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, and many hospital visits, but it’s a journey I’m determined to take with everything I’ve got.

The Plan

12 weeks of chemotherapy + immunotherapy

Surgery to remove the tumour

1 year of immunotherapy afterward to keep it from coming back

My oncologist is optimistic — with the right treatment, this can be cured.

Why I Need Help

I’ve already spent everything: my savings and the proceeds from selling my house are gone. My health insurance initially approved treatment but later refused to pay and my appeal has also failed on a technicality - a more detailed account is in the link below.

Goal: 7.682,000 THB (177,000 GPB)

This covers chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, follow-ups, plus basic living costs while I’m unable to work.

How You Can Help

Donate — every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.

Share — spreading this page helps me reach the people who can help.

I’ve been told I have a strong chance if I complete this plan. I want the chance to live the rest of my life fully — I’ve got too much planned to let cancer stop me now.

Thank you for giving me a fighting chance.

Love,

Damian
