Help Greg heal throat cancer
Donation protected
For those who know Greg, he is a vibrant, hardworking person, who loves his family, particularly partner Danielle, and sons Bastien and Olsen, and cares for his community deeply. Recently Greg was given a devastating diagnosis of stage 2 throat cancer. This was obviously shocking news and has taken some time for Danielle and Greg to absorb. They have met with staff at the Peter McCallum hospital to gain an understanding of the diagnosis and treatments available via the hospital. In taking stock of the information provided, they have elected to seek advice from a complementary therapist in order to strengthen and improve Greg’s immune system so that he can be better fight this cancer.
How can you help?
Over the next few months, he will be using a mixture of traditional Chinese medicines including acupuncture, herbs and cupping. There is a strong focus on nutritional healing which involves a strict diet of organic vegetables and juices, moving in to adding further supplements and vitamin C injections down the track. This will be in addition to naturopathic consults, lymphatic massage and possibly counselling to support Greg’s mental and emotional health during this difficult time. Danielle has already had to purchase equipment such as a juicer and Vitamix, but is also needing to look at purchasing an air purifier and improved water filter. While these therapies and equipment are important in Greg’s body being able to detox and keep him strong in order to fight the cancer, they all take time, money and energy. Greg will need to reduce his work load in order to focus on his healing, and they will need extra financial support to see them through. An inventory of costs shows that they would need an extra $500 per week, just to cover the food and consultations. This on a reduced workload. They are not wanting to ask anyone to contribute more than they can, but any amount is helpful.
Please consider sharing amongst your networks, as the more we can raise, the easier it will be for Greg and Danielle to focus on his treatment and healing.
Thank you for your support!
