Brain Cancer Alternative Treatments
Donation protected
Hi Guys,
For those of you who do not know I have been diagnosed with Melanoma cancer which has travelled throughout the body ending up in my brain,lungs, armpit etc. I have fought diligintly up until this point and am working toward a goal of being in complete remission but have had unbelievable medical expenses along the way totalling well over 50k over the last several years personally. I'm asking for any help that can be given at this point as I have exhausted every penny I have and more fighting this disease and need further funds for alternative treatments that have been working toward my remission. I have had recent Brain Surgery removing a sand dollar size tumor that was discovered during a seizure on October 6th. It was at that time that we discocered the cancer had spread..... My doctors are confident that they removed the initial sand dollar size tumor and now are treating the remianing tumors with a Gamma Knife raidtiation technology which should finalize the brain end of the recovery. This has all been performed at Hoag Hospital with great expense to myself and of course Blue Shield to the tune of 788k. I've done my best fighting this disease including changing of my diet, exercise and for those of you that see me I cannot drink alchohol as well. :) Personal change and accountability is as important with this disease as any one treatment itself and was the primary reason I was able to make it through my brain surgery with so much success! Long story short, the fight is not over and anything you all could provide would go a long way in allowing me to continue this journey and provide the necessary treatment to finish this up and follow up with PET Scans etc. Bottom line, I need some help here. :)
