Martin Masters: His Final Life Journey

Martin Masters needs your support now, more than ever.
 
This is Debra. Martin is my hero, my beloved life research partner and my sweetest loving husband. I am committed to him having the best life he can imagine for however long he has…on his own terms! I hope you will join me.
 
You may remember Martin battling metastatic prostate cancer four years ago, when many of you were so instrumental in helping Martin undergo a variety of treatments to successfully manage the cancer. We couldn’t have done it without you.
 
Now, Martin is facing the biggest battle of his life. Not only is he managing prostate cancer, but he now has Stage 4 cancer in his colon which has spread to  his liver. On November 17th, Martin underwent surgery to remove the tumor in his colon. He is slowly recovering from the procedure. 
 
The recommended treatment to address the cancer in his colon and liver is chemotherapy. The potential side effects of this therapy are 4 pages long…they  include a compromised immune system, nausea, hair loss, extreme fatigue, neuropathy, headaches, loss of appetite, diarrhea and much more.
 
Martin is already in a weakened state from the surgery and we don’t know how much his body can withstand these debilitating side effects from chemo. The doctors say that chemotherapy is not a cure – it is merely an attempt to extend his life. But at what cost? 

 
Embracing chemo would also mean he would have to be tethered to UCSF in San Francisco, CA, receiving treatments every two to three weeks, perhaps for the rest of his life.
 
Is it worth enduring the devastating side effects and a massively-compromised life to buy a possible extra few months, maybe a year, possibly two (a longshot)?
 
Martin is choosing quality of life over quantity. His wish is to return to our home, where he can live his final days surrounded by the warmth of the sun and beloved friends/family, and to receive treatments that will support his body and spirit, boost his immune system, and perhaps even give him a longer more vital life. While  there, Martin will have access to world-class healers at a fraction of the cost of the US.
 
Though his body is still weak, Martin’s spirit and humor still shine brightly.  
 
He has hope to live this final part of his life in an empowered versus debilitated way.
 
He longs to LIVE...on his own terms.
 
But he cannot do this on his own. 
 
Your caring generosity will support Martin’s treatments and enable him to focus on the quality of his life versus finances.
 
Please support my hero in being his own hero in this last part of his life. 
 
Please donate now. 
 
With deep appreciation and heartfelt gratitude,
Debra (and Martin)
