Please help Toms family while he is beating cancer

Hi, my name is Aurelija in the photo is my partner Tom (33) and our two girls (7/9), we had a long 9 year journey together with lots of ups and downs. Since 2019 we live like-on a rollercoaster.

In autumn of 2019 Tom started feeling very poorly with unexplained pain in his spleen , in December he had few lumps popping out one after other all around his neck. In January his tonsils went up and he struggled to breath for a while. He would struggle to sleep and eat so he had to take time off work as had no energy so he went on a long term sickness ( it lasts now for 2 years). Neither blood nor other tests show that there was anything wrong with him, but he struggled with day to day life. In March he had biopsy and he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma- and cancer has spread all around his spleen and neck by that time. All white blood cells produced by his body were cancerous and his immune system was not fighting ( for the context- this happened at the same time when we first went into COVID 19 lockdown). So all world was going crazy and our world started to fall apart.

He had 8 intensive chemotherapies and we were very hopeful that it was the end of this nightmare. He had a month were he started to feel much better and we started to make plans for the future. But cancer came back, last time we got the bad news was day after Boxing Day 2020. Bigger part of this year Tom spent in chemo/ radiotherapy sessions, weekly blood tests, line flush, COVID swabs, PET scans -pumped up with radioactive stuff, steroids, not to mention 10-20 tablets a day for the past two years..He also had sepsis which could have been death sentence for him, but he was stronger than that, however it put on hold his treatment and beginning of August he caught COVID which postponed treatment even more so gave a chance for cancer to hit him harder…

Today I came back home from London after a week spent with Tom where he had daily chemo and I had to be on call in case something goes wrong…
Today Tom was hospitalised in Kings Colledge hospital in London for 5 weeks away from family and two daughters who missed him already. He is having CAR-T Cell therapy were his white blood cells were genetically modified and being transfused back into his body hoping this should reboot his immune system so it will recognise cancer cells and start beating it, hopefully with no serious life lasting side effects.

Tom is a loving partner and farther he is a strong man, he is still hopeful, but he misses his kids and wants to come home before Christmas… Because of his illness he was not working for the past couple of years and benefit system is not so generous for cancer patients for some reason… so it put a lot of pressure on us to try to budget 1 wage as much as possible but with Christmas coming and heating bills we will struggle this year more then ever. All we want is to make this Christmas special for our girls as they deserved after a terrible year they had… it was hard for me and Tom, but it affected our girls too. They don't fully understand why daddy is not well and why he doesn’t spend more time with them..
We are very grateful for NHS And specialists who are taking care of Tom we are hopeful that he will get better soon and we will be able to start a new chapter of our story.

We are asking for donations to support our family in this difficult time.

Every little helps
