Help George fight prostate cancer
Donation protected
Hello to all. I’m Angela, and I have created this fundraiser for my husband George.
George is a father to 4, and has 7 beautiful grandchildren.
In December 2019, George was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. His treatment began with hormone injections and natural medicine. This combination helped George greatly at the time. Unfortunately, there is a limit to how many hormone injections he could have before they were no longer effective.
The doctors told us there was a trial chemotherapy drug that might be helpful for his case. The downside is that it is not FDA-approved in Australia and would cost $40,000. With this considered, and it being a trial drug, we searched for more options.
A sample of George's blood was sent to a lab in Germany, where it was tested to find which treatments would be most effective. We have been advised that intravenous vitamin C and curcumin would have an 80% success rate for his case. We have begun these treatments, which have had a huge, positive impact on his pain.
These treatments, along with George's medication, are costing about $2,500 a week. This has been difficult for us to afford, and George sometimes misses some of his treatments. So far, George's treatments have cost $170,000.
2 years ago, we sold our family cafe as George could no longer work. We have used the funds as efficiently as possible, but we are now in a position where funds have declined, and it's getting tough.
We are reaching out for support to help George continue his treatments regularly.
Your help, no matter how small, even if it’s just a share of this post, means so much to us.
We would be deeply grateful for any help and support. Thank you all so much, sending love and blessings to you all, Angela & George.
