<div>February 2024, I had an appointment with my PCP because of some lower abdominal discomfort. One ultrasound and blood test later, it was determined that I had a softball-sized cyst on my left ovary that needed to be removed. Reports and blood tests indicated that this was a benign cyst, and I had nothing to fear from this fairly routine procedure. I arrived early morning March 27th for a simple laparoscopic procedure that would remove the cyst and my left ovary. Eight weeks and two surgeries later, I had a final diagnosis of Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer - NED. I quickly began holistic treatments to remove toxins from my body and to heal my immune system. I was making great progress; December 2024, all tests and scans showed no sign of returning disease.

<div>March 24th, 2025, I had a routine follow-up scan that showed I had developed a 2.5cm x 3cm lesion in my peritoneal tissue just outside of my sigmoid colon. On April 15th, I had another surgery to remove the lesion, which required a bowel resection. Praise Jesus, the surgery was successful, all visible disease was removed, and I did not require a colostomy.

</div>

<div>This morning, I had a follow-up appointment with my oncologist, Dr. Landrum. She confirmed the mass removed was a re-occurrence of the ovarian cancer.

</div>

<div>We talked statistics:

</div>

<div>If I take chemo, there is a 75% chance the cancer returns, and when it does, they will just put me on maintenance drugs to try and slow progress, as there is not an option for a 2nd round of chemo, and there is no cure. Those maintenance drugs will also very likely make me sick with terrible side effects. My oncologist is suggesting 6 rounds of chemotherapy followed by multiple rounds of immunotherapy. All of which will keep me very sick for 6+ months. Chemotherapy only targets active cancer cells; it does not target the circulating tumor stem cells. So, for me at stage 3, chemo is not a cure.

</div>

<div>She confirmed stats: Only 40% of stage 3 ovarian cancer patients survive to 5 years, and only 25% make it 10 years.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Ovarian cancer is mean. Simply working on my own to eliminate toxins and boost my immune system wasn't enough. And continuing to have surgeries to remove the cancer is very unhealthy and no fun. <strong>I need help to more aggressively attack this cancer.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Hope 4 Cancer can provide that help.</strong> Their treatment targets the circulating tumor stem cells and kills them. They also do in-depth blood work to find the root cause of the cancer: mold, parasites, heavy metals, or other toxins. Then, they offer treatments to cleanse my body of the root cause. After that, they offer bio-immunotherapy that will restore my immune system and my gut health (microbiome). None of the therapies offered by Hope 4 Cancer are toxic, and they will not make me sick. They offer a cure. They have been operating for 25 years and have great success rates when patients choose to live a healthy life (not return to the things that make them sick).

</div>

<div>75% of their patients thrive and live well beyond 10 years cancer-free. That is completely opposite of what chemotherapy offers.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>I am asking for your financial help for this life-giving treatment.</strong> I promise to use this life-giving opportunity to continue to love others well and to share my story and help others find hope in the face of this terrible disease.
