Help Nicola Say Yes to Life

Hello Everyone,

Nicola Henry, our dear friend and family member, is fighting for her life and you are invited to join this valiant effort. Nic (48) originally had an emergency operation for a colorectal adenocarcinoma (colon cancer) with metastasis to six lymph nodes back in 2022, all of which was successfully removed. She then had four rounds of chemotherapy and we thought she was out of the woods, only to get the devastating news that it had returned more aggressively as stage IV, spreading to her ovaries, which she had removed in December ‘23, and now to her abdomen, peritoneum, liver and lymph nodes. The peritoneum is particularly tricky and she was scheduled for cytoreductive surgery only to be told that it is pointless to go through such a major operation when the lymph nodes are involved because the cancer would return. She has been told that she is inoperable and has only been offered palliative care, which is chemotherapy. This chemotherapy would not cure her, would maybe extend her life by only a few months, and she would be miserable and very sick in the meantime, causing untold damage to her internal organs. We all know what stage IV means in terms of life expectancy. The hospital oncologists have told her that there is nothing that they can do to help, including any trials. However, this only means that THEY cannot do anything. It does not mean that there is nothing that can be done.

Nic does not believe that this is the end for her and after doing extensive research and consulting multiple experts, she has found and decided on a comprehensive metabolic and medicinal treatment plan which includes amongst other things, Dendritic Cell Therapy, Insulin Potentiated Therapy and less harsh, more appropriate chemotherapy specific to her cancer biology, to work alongside it. While she has already enthusiastically begun a holistic protocol with repurposed medicines and adopted a strict diet, she MUST start this more advanced treatment right away and has a spot to start as early as May 12th. There is no time to lose! This treatment, which will be done at two specialist cancer clinics in Germany with support from several clinics in the UK, is expensive and overwhelming, having all been unexpected. Financial support would decrease the stress and burden of the journey ahead and allow her to move forward with the treatments.

This condition is critical and the urgency of this cannot be underestimated. Although Nic has refused to allow the doctor to give her a timeline on her life ending, we all know that time is very short and we have to act fast to get ahead of the cancer spread. This treatment can get Nic into remission and has been achieved successfully by thousands of others. The German centres have been validated by independent cancer specialists as a recommended resource. We are optimistic and hopeful for miraculous results.

THE SIX MONTH TREATMENT PLAN INCLUDES:

TREATMENT COSTS:

Approximately £59,473 ($74,885). This includes the immediate treatment at Arcadia Clinic in Germany (£26K), associated travel, and some living costs as Nic is single and will not be able to work as much as normal.

This news may be surprising and even shocking to some, especially as Nic has chosen to keep it fairly private, has kept putting her makeup on and living life as best she can, but now she has accepted that she needs help. We invite you to join in that hope and a financial contribution of any size would be hugely helpful and much appreciated. This is not the time for a pity party, but a welcoming in of positive reinforcement. Prayers, love, and encouragement will be gladly received!

Thank you so much and please help spread the word to anyone who might want to support this fight. Stay tuned for updates.

With enormous thanks,

Stacey, Tom and Terry
