Help Our Mum Fight Cancer
Donation protected
Hi Everyone,
Our mum was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in 2016. This time the cancer has metastasised to the lymph nodes, lungs and liver.
Secondary breast cancer is incurable so any treatment is to prolong and enhance the quality of life.
She went through (and is still going through) the mainstream treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy and antibody treatments. So far the treatments haven't stopped the growth of the cancer. We are researching complementary and other approaches to see if they yield a different result.
These options (and a summary of each) are listed in her blog (Treatment options), where you can also follow her journey through cancer: https://cancerandlifebeyond.wordpress.com
These are:
- Consultations (3 or 4 at a cost of £400 to £600 each)
- Clinical trials
- Medical innovation database
- Diet (additional cost of organic produce)
- Juicing / Detoxing (cold press juicer at £400)
- Supplements (£10 / month)
- Healthy mind (Retreats / sessions £400 to £3000 / year)
- Targeting the immune system
- Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment (£100 a session, £5000 for a year)
- Cannaboid (CBD) (£40 / month)
- Repurposed medicine (e.g. Metformin) (£2000 / year)
- Herbal medicine
- Support groups
Mum is only 50 years old. As she is no longer able to work, she is finding it difficult to cover the cost of these treatments. Therefore, we've decided to fundraise for her and try to hit a target of £10,000 to cover one year. It is not a hard target and the list of treatments will likely to vary based on consultations and the progression of her illness.
Anything you can do to help will make an immense difference to our mum's, and our lives. You can also contact Alex via my email ([email redacted].uk) for alternatives arrangements or just for a chat. :)
Many thanks,
Mischa, Kyle, Natasha and Alexandra
