Fighting Prostate Cancer

Hello, everyone,

I am reaching out in the hope that you can help me in one of the toughest battles of my life – prostate cancer.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year, and it has been a whirlwind of emotions and challenges for me ever since, especially because my father died from prostate cancer in the late 1980s. He was a year younger than I am now. As a single person without family support, the weight of this situation feels overwhelming.

The Need for Specialised Treatment

It has become clear that the standard treatment options covered by Medicare in Australia present significant risks to my quality of life, due to complications specific to my case. Understandably, I am seeking treatments that offer the best chance of beating the cancer without sacrificing my quality of life.

The Solution

After extensive research and consultations with specialists both in Australia and abroad, I have found a personalised treatment plan that offers hope. This focal treatment, unfortunately, is not covered by Medicare in Australia.

How You Can Help

The cost of the treatment, along with associated medical expenses, is estimated to be $35,000 – which is beyond what I can easily manage alone. I have set up this GoFundMe campaign in the hope that friends, acquaintances and even compassionate strangers might make a contribution towards my treatment. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference.

Your contribution will directly support:

Specialised Treatment Costs: The personalised treatment itself is estimated to cost $26,000. My specialists have told me this treatment offers the best chance of beating the cancer while hopefully preserving my quality of life.

Medical Expenses: Ongoing consultations, medications and follow-up care are all integral to my recovery. The cost of these expenses is estimated to be $9,000.

I hope you can join me in my fight against prostate cancer by donating to this campaign and sharing it with your friends, family and networks. Your generosity and kindness will have a direct impact on my journey to overcome prostate cancer while maintaining my quality of life.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, well wishes and any contribution you can make.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Miles
