#HELP KAYGE FOWLER
#DEFEAT DIPG 
The day news came, your child has a cancerous Brain Tumour.
In the hope your child would survive or have another year to live, you would do everything you could.
The alternative treatments cost tens of thousands going to a different country as Canada don’t do these treatments.
This would not be possible without your help.
This for my Cousin, Kayge Fowler who is 5 years old, fighting for his life and lives with Mum and Dad( Paul and Mandy Fowler) and their other 4 children, Keigharrah(12), Avery(11),Zachery(11), Kayge(5), Xander(3).
I am reaching out to you to help my family.
They are always willing to help others and have overcome so many obstacles and have very little themselves, they could do with your help right now.
Paul and Mandy had to give up their full time employment to care for Kayge. Their house was in the process of being renovated which has had to go on hold so Paul and Mandy can concentrate on their poorly son. All donations that come in will automatically be transferred onto Paul and Mandy to help finance the high costs of medication, scans, air travel,accommodation plus other medical costs that could arise when they have to travel to either Mexico or USA because Canada cannot offer the help for DIPG brain tumours beyond radiation therapy.
On May5 2018 Kayge woke up and the family noticed the left side of Kayge’s face around the eye and mouth was slanted. Once at the hospital Kayge was looked at by the medical team and got told he had Bell’s Palsy. Mandy insisted that an MRI scan needed to be done to be sure of what this problem is. Doctor refused as he assured Mandy it was nothing more serious and that no scan would be done because of the radiation on a 5year old child. 
With Mandy believing it could be something different she see 3 other doctors in that 17 day period leading up to the 22nd of May, and they all said the same thing. So knowing what we know now this gave the highly aggressive brain tumour that attacks the stem 17 days extra to twist itself around the stem.
It was May 22 that a phone call from school saying Kayge is having trouble walking. Paul and Mandy  collected Kayge and went to the hospital where they had checks done and was informed that Kayge has to go to the Sick Kids Hospital in Totonto immediately . Arrangements were made and Mandy flew with Kayge to Toronto and met Paul their as only one person was allowed to travel with Kayge on the air ambulance flight to Toronto airport. Transferred from the airport directly to the Sick Kids Hospital where Kayge was seen to straight away.
An Mri scan was done and then came the heartbreaking news that Kayge was diagnosed with DIPG, a highly aggressive brain tumour which had started back on May the 5th. Not the news anyone of us wanted and would change the lives of Paul and Mandy and the rest of the family it seems forever.
From May 26 to July 6, 30 rounds of radiation therapy was done over a 6 week period on a Monday to Friday with a 2 day rest at the weekends. For the 1st radiation treatment and every other one after Kayge would be secured down and put under the radiation machine for 10 minutes on his own with his Superman blanket and mask on. This photo can be seen at the top of this page. Below is Kayge with his younger brother Xander.
 Their were a few times when Kayge was constantly sleeping and this was found out to be swelling on the brain causing extra pressure. Extra steroids was used and managed to bring this back under control.  During this time the tumour took hold very quickly causing Kayge’s speech to deteriorate and an I pad had to be purchased so that an app for communication could be put onto it so that Kayge was still able to communicate with mummy and daddy. Kayge also lost use of his left side including leg, arm, wrist and hand and the eyelid started to close.
Because the tumour starts within the stem which controls all the functions of your body it is not possible to operate and remove the tumour as it’s very close to the heart and breathing functions and the DIPG tumour wraps itself around various parts of the brain stem at an alarming rate.
Radiation therapy reduces the tumour but is not a cure. 
Their is only 4% research into DIPG which makes this a fight and a battle that Kayge is facing. Please help him get through his treatments until maybe their is a cure available.  Kayge is a Wonderful, Happy, caring 5 year old doing the best that he can with continuos smiles and bravery.
