Help Satoshi Terminal Cancer

Donation protected
My husband has had Stage 4 Cancer since 2022. During this time he tried to get better with ongoing medical treatment. However, due to his advanced decline, he is unable to continue his chemotherapy and IV treatment. He has been transferred from the hospital to his 24 hour home Hospice Care. He has terrible stomach pain, nausea, ascites and a difficult time eating solid food. His doctor recommended a fluid diet that would continue through his Hospice care. The home Hospice nurse told me that I may prepare certain food dishes that he likes and can tolerate. I am trying to give him those dishes to make him happy. Now we have a very limited time remaining to be together. I would like to take care of him for this limited time. Since I am the only income provider between the two of us, it is impossible to be with him full time. I would appreciate any support contributions if possible, for his continued care expenses. Thank you for your kindness.

My name is Takako Ishikawa, I have created this page for my precious 62 year old husband, Satoshi Ishikawa. We have been married for ten years. My husband last year suddenly developed severe pain in his esophagus and experienced difficulty eating. Due to his esophagus discomfort, he went to the emergency room and was hospitalized. My husband was diagnosed in June of 2022 with terminal cancer. Chemotherapy started in August. Since then he has been through three surgeries. He is currently in his last stage of esophagus, liver, adrenaline, stomach and musculoskeletal cancer. Recently he has developed epileptic seizures. His condition continues to get worse with regular nausea and stomach pain. Even with all the discomfort of his cancer treatments, he still went to work to support the two of us. He is now home and unable to work. Due to his continued declining health, he can not stand for more than ten minutes at a time. He requires intravenous treatment twice a week.
I cherish him very much. Way before he became ill, we discussed our lives together during our future retirement years. Now those dreams are more difficult to imagine everyday. It will cost a lot to continue his on going treatment and support. His mother lives in Japan and has just become aware of his health situation. I hope to purchase an airline ticket for her to come Hawaii from Japan. I want her to visit her son as soon as possible, since his condition continues to worsen.

Donations will be applied to his continuing healthcare costs and possibility to add for his mother’s airfare to see him.

Any donations will be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you so much.
