Help Melinda Stay Alive and Heal from Cancer

What do you do when life hands you the opportunity to live or die?

I know I can do this, I know I can fight this and stay alive. But I need your help.



I am a single mom to two beautiful kids, and I work as a healer and licensed acupuncturist in beautiful Sonoma County, California. 
 

In 2019, I was diagnosed with a rare lymphatic cancer and went through a rigorous and painful conventional cancer treatment last year. Following treatment, the scans were inconclusive and the chemo and radiation treatments proved ineffective at killing my cancer. The prognosis for a second round of this treatment is poor. The risk of mortality is also very high. The cancer is back with a vengeance and growing extremely quickly, and I do not have much time to seek treatment. I am already feeling symptoms of chest pain and fatigue from tumors that are growing and pressing on my organs, and this tells me that time is of the essence. 



I need to start treatment immediately, which means I need to call upon miracles in this universe to make it happen.

So, I am preparing now to fight and regain my health so I can keep living and be a mom to my beautiful young kids. This time around, I am choosing a path that aligns more with my life's work as a healer. Issels Immuno Oncology  is a state-of-the-art Cancer Center dedicated to integrative cancer treatment that offers targeted individualized therapies that stop the cancerous cell replication and tumor growth. The Issels treatment is an Integrative non-toxic Immunotherapy that will activate my own immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. The treatment is designed to restore the cellular immune functions as well as the various other levels of the body’s extraordinarily complex immune and defense mechanisms.  
 
The discovery of Dendritic Cell therapy for adaptive immunity won a Nobel Prize in 2011 and Issels has been effectively using the Dendritic cell vaccine as part of their comprehensive cancer treatments for over a decade. These proven therapies have been shown to root out the source of malignant cancer cells and are much less harmful to normal cells and less toxic than chemotherapy.

During treatment, I will need to live in Santa Barbara and Mexico for five weeks, and it will require me to take this time away from work. This groundbreaking cancer therapy is unfortunately not covered by my insurance, so I need to raise money in order to cover the $60K+ for the Issels Immunotherapy treatments, in addition to funds to cover living expenses in Santa Barbara, childcare, loss of wages and unknown expenses.


 
I am so grateful for all of you who have shared this journey with me already.  
The words of encouragement, food deliveries and financial help have meant so much to me. Anything you can do to share my story or contribute to my fund to stop the cancer would be so appreciated. I strongly believe in the power of love and I am ready to fight for my life. No contribution is too small, truly. Thank you for your help. 
 
Gratefully, Melinda
