Tierney Kinsella's life saving cancer treatment
In 2015 I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, an aggressive teenage bone cancer. I had 8 months of intense chemotherapy, surgery to remove the tumour in my femur bone, a knee replacement and prosthesis.
I found out in November 2016 I had many small nodules in my lungs which were were removed with surgery. After that everything was fine until September 2017 when I found out my cancer had returned and I had two large tumours in my lungs. I had yet again more intense chemotherapy, and one third of my lung removed in order to remove my tumours.
In April 2018, after two and a half years, I thought this would finally be the end and I could have my life back. However, in September 2018 I found out my cancer had come back again and was inoperable.
I am currently having chemotherapy, and I'm on a trial drug which is keeping everything stable - for now. However, I have been advised by an oncologist in America that specialised immunotherapy vaccines could be life saving for me. This treatment is in Germany and it is very expensive, which is why I desperately need to raise the money.
Even if you can't donate anything please share this, I would be so grateful.
Thank you.
