HELP TANK BEAT ASPERGILLUS FUNGAL
What is this disease? This disease is where fungus gets trapped far up your nasal path and then it begins to grow. When it grows it starts eating away at the tissue in your nose. It can then start eating away at your bones. Due to your nose being so close to your brain (especially in Tank’s case as he is so tiny) if it eats through the bone between your nose and brain, it is deadly and becomes inoperable.
Tank was diagnosed in December 2020 with this potentially deadly disease in his nose. Having received lots of treatment and two procedures to try and rid him of this disease we thought it was gone.
Tank was in a lot of discomfort with constant discharge from his nose, swelling of the nasal paths and gunky eyes.
In order to do all of the above I maxed out my insurance claim for the year for this all to be completed.
Unfortunately the disease is back and Tank needs urgent surgery to control the spread again. My policy does not renew until the end of June and if I wait till then there’s a chance that the disease could have spread to his brain and therefore it becomes inoperable and Tank would unfortunately not survive. A thought I genuinely cannot fathom.
If any of you could spare any money at all to help me afford this extremely expensive surgery for Tank that is currently booked in for next Thursday (13th May) then we both would be so thankful.
It is an impossible position to be in choosing between waiting for the policy to renew and gambling with Tank’s life. He is my absolute lifeline and therefore any donations no matter how big or small will help and be appreciated beyond you know!
Thank you so much,
Mel and Tank
