Help Sylvester King Sr Fight Prostate Cancer

Donation protected
My husband is my best friend and protector. His name is Sylvester King Sr, and today we decided to go public with his story. It started in 2006 when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer; he could not get recommended treatments because his prostate was seven times the size it should have been. After several medication attempts, nothing would shrink the prostate to an operable size; it was a stage 1 and Gleason score of 6. Therefore the treatment was watch and wait. In the interim, he enhanced his health and lifestyle through daily holistic healing, and the cancer was controlled for 16 years. He had no apparent symptoms until June of this year. He noticed rapid weight loss of 50 pounds within two months. On the morning of August 16, 2022, he was awakened from sleep with chronic pain in his back, thighs, legs, and feet; I rushed him to the hospital emergency room, where he was admitted. While in the hospital for nine days, undergoing multiple diagnostic tests, it was discovered that the prostate cancer had resurfaced its ugly head, and he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Prostate Cancer. Cancer has spread to his bones, spine, pelvic, chest, lungs, and lymph nodes.


Sylvester prides himself on living a healthy lifestyle. He enjoys cooking the best foods with the best ingredients for family and friends. “He is a Great Cook” is a wealth of information to anyone he talks to and loves sharing with everyone he meets. His heart is always open to help and share with all. If you ever met him, you would instantly fall in love with his smile and ability to make you laugh and feel like you can do anything; we need him around and with us longer. My sons have nicknamed him “Mr. Google,” and many of his friends call him “The Answer Man.”


After getting the devastating news of his current diagnosis, we began consulting with multiple oncologists and other medical professionals in the area of cancer treatments. His oncologists started him on hormonal therapy with medications through injections and tablets that he would need for the rest of his life. They have also concluded that he will need aggressive chemotherapy and radiation therapy treatments, with a life expectancy of only 1 to 5 years. We know the side effects of these drugs would be very dangerous to Sylvester because his body does not tolerate prescription medications of any kind without him always suffering from the rare side effects. After careful thought and much research of some of the leading Alternative Cancer Treatments Centers available in the United States and Mexico, we have decided his best option is to get medical help needed through alternative cancer treatment centers. He will be able to get the various types of therapies required, i.e., immunotherapy, oxygen therapy, and other successful treatments, without his body being destroyed and, most of all, sparing his quality of life.


Please HELP my husband live. If he doesn't get the proper treatments, The doctors said he would die within 1 to 5 years. I am asking our family, friends, and the community to help us raise funds for his medical treatments, travel, accommodations, and other expenses. Your donation will help Sylvester win the fight against cancer.


Thanks for your love and support; please share Sylvester’s story on your social networks.
