Jordan Fights Rare Cancer
4 years ago, Jordan Morgan, a husband, father of 2 and nurse was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma (cancer) after finding a lump in his leg. Over the last few years, Jordan has undergone multiple treatments and surgeries to remove tumours and to try and keep ahead of his diagnosis. Fast forward to present day, the tumour has now moved into his lower right lung, remaining diaphragm and liver. The treatment options to give him more time to enjoy his family are growing fewer and more expensive.
His oncologist has proposed a new chemo treatment, and had assured him that it would be covered under a compassionate care funding program. His oncologist has since told him that this treatment is not covered and will be at a cost of $15,000 per dose, adding up to a whopping $130,000 for the full treatment.
This is not a cure for Jordan, but his oncologist feels that this treatment will shrink the tumor and give him the potential of another surgery to remove the growth.
Jordan is 34 years old and has two amazing children aged 12 and 4. He has started his own home business as a bee keeper, a passion that he and his children share together. He is a regular at Farmers Markets and Christmas Craft fairs selling his “Isle of Bees Apiary” products.
In effort to secure his own funding, Jordan has made multiple phone calls and emails to the health minister, MLA, Canadian Cancer Society, Cancer Navigator and even directly to the drug company themselves. So far he hasn’t heard word back so we turn to you, GoFundMe, in effort to aid in the costs of this treatment he needs.
We feel it’s important to note that should he secure funding through one of the above means, or, should the unthinkable happen, all money raised will be donated to the Canadian Sarcoma Research/Canadian cancer society as per Jordan's request.
