Help my brother suffering from terminal cancer

Hi, my name is Paul.

 

My brother Dennis was diagnosed in  2019 with melanona (skin cancer) and then in February 2021 with terminal  stage 4 melanoma. The melanoma had spread from under his arm creating a bone disease which is eating away his left side leg bone, hip, pelvis and back bones.   In just a few month he is now unable to get around as much as he can barely walk causing lots of pain in  his bones. His leg bone is already cracked and about to snap therefore this surgery is very important.

 

Dennis is only 39, still a young man with his life ahead of him and due to his situation he is pretty much bed ridden and in pain 24/7. Its been really hard watching my brother suffer from the other side of the world via video calls and not being able to visit due to the current Covid-19 pandemic. I do not know when i will next get to see my brother.

 

He recently had radiation to remove a tumour they discovered on his hip and lower back  which has made him very sick with more horrible pain which no medication is helping.

 

Due to the bone disease he really needs this surgery. He has received a quote for surgery which may help him be able to move around without the thought of his bones breaking and being in constant pain. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to help him financially so I am asking
for your help. If you can spare anything I'd be forever grateful. If i can't get over to see him, i'd like to at least give him a better chance at life being pain free.

Much Appreciated 
Paul
