Help Vince fund a clinical trial to fight cancer

My husband, Vince, was diagnosed with bowel cancer a month after retiring, two years ago. What should have been a fairly straight forward operation to remove part of the colon where the cancer was contained, turned into a nightmare when the join leaked causing sepsis. An emergency operation was performed at another hospital but microscopic cancer cells had spread around his body. After many infections and weeks in hospital he was then diagnosed with metastasis of the liver.  Next visit, the oncologist revealed there were four lesions on the liver. Our emotions were up and down, living in hope then hopes dashed. Then, he was offered a liver resection. He had that operation too, always remaining positive. The lesions were removed. Then, only five weeks later, thinking he was now clear, we were told they were back again. After much chemotherapy he has come to the end of his treatment. Just a few more weeks on tablets. To date, he has five lesions on his liver and one in the lung. Vince still remains positive as he is not ready to die. He has now been accepted to have a clinical trial of DCT, Dendritic Cell Therapy. This is quite expensive but what is a life worth? I want to keep him as long as possible. He deserves some enjoyment in his retirement. If you can help at all it would be greatly appreciated.
