Cancer treatment In Florida
Donation protected
I never thought I would be sat here asking for your help or in this position!
My name is Jason and I am 29. I was diagnosed with Synovial Sarcoma in January 2014, a very rare cancer which only occurs in 1 to 3 people per million. My cancer started in my right thigh, it took 18 months for the doctors to diagnose that I had Cancer!
This is when my world was turned upside down. My family & friends couldn't believe this was happening to me; I couldnt believe it was happening to me, is this real?
Within a week I was having a major operation to remove a tumour which was the size of a melon when it was removed. I had 35 sessions of Radiotherapy followed by 6 months of chemotheraphy. My chemo was so intense I had 96 hours of straight chemo every 3rd week, I become someone I didnt recognise neither did I want to acknowledge the ill, skinny, pale, bald person I had now become. I had to stop the chemo as I now had a heart condition from the poison that they kept feeding me.
A few months had past and I managed to get my strength back when after a regular scan the Cancer was now back but this time on my lungs. After all that chemo and it was back? I had thrown a 'goodbye cancer party' for all my loved ones who had helped me out throughout this nightmare to say thank you. I felt cheated and a little embarressed as I had got all of my hopes up.
So I planned to have another operation to remove the tumours... which I did It was so painful to breath but I got better as time went on.
The God awful Cancer was back AGAIN on my lungs. This time I had 15 tumours removed with 8 of them being cancer.
I have had 4 operations in total on my lungs. Totalling over 28 tumours.
As time has gone on the tumours keep coming back but life didn't stop, I proposed to my amazing girlfriend at the time and she said 'yes'. I was on cloud 9 in fact we both were. My onclogist told me to move the wedding forward from the original date we had, so we rushed our wedding through and got married 5 months later. It was the best day of our lives. The photo is the picture on here, doesnt she look stunning!
We thought that the cancer was gone this time, as each scan I had was coming back clear from tumours, we were excited each time we got the all clear and life become normal again. 6 months cancer free we had.
Until in March this year those dreaded words were said in those tone deafening meetings 'your cancer is back'.
This time I couldnt have any operations to remove the tumours as they are so close to my main blood vessels. The only option I now have is chemotherapy? But we hadnt even had a honeymoon yet? I asked if we could have a honeymoon before I start a life of chemo, swapping different chemo's until I find one that MIGHT reduce the tumours.
Then we found out about a medical trial in Florida. I spoke to the oncologist about this and she advised me to apply. So we did.... I had some tests, my bloods and cells match what they are looking for, this rare horrible cancer inside me could be gone? I needed to know more so we flew out to Florida from our honeymoon and had a long meeting with many different doctors and the trial is what could make me better. This treatment is called 'T cell Immunology'. It's what could keep me here with my wife, my parents, my sister and my friends. These opportunities are so very rare to come by and they only have a short window to get on them. I now face the task of trying to get £50,000 to pay for the trial. I hate to ask people to help me as I am very proud but I need to realise my pride doesnt matter anymore, I have to do what I have to do to survive and live a long and happy life with everyone around me that I love and that loves me. I have the best wife, parents, sister, family and friends who have been the best throughout this time in my life and I am going to do this for them. My sister gets married in 11 days so I gain a brother.
Please can you help me reach the required amount of £50,000 so that I can continue to be a pain, be a joker, be the loving, happy go lucky person I am for now and in years to come.
Thank you. Jason xXx
