Guide my DAD with dignity - Cancer awareness hope!

Donation protected


World, we are too busy, too busy to notice things around us, too busy to help each other, too busy with our smartphones and jobs, too busy even for ourselves. I reassure you, you will never be too busy when your beloved one is dying! In my family case dying from Cancer.

Despite my efforts of running around Leicester Royal Infirmary hospital, numerous calls and emails to Cambridge Cancer Research department in trying to get a subsidized experimental Immunotherapy treatment under the consent of my dad, we have been turned away by the treating doctors advising that my dad is too late for any treatments, and for immunotherapy money is always the matter, as of why so many people like my dad and other patients never get anywhere with current stubborn systematic treatment bureaucracy. When people are diagnosed, they have limited chances of survival, they purely rely on hope, rely on medicine that does not work, rely on thin air.

You cannot imagine what it feels like when your dad is bed bound lying next door and dying in agony, screaming in pain, then a Morphine injection with Medazolam is given to calm him down for few hours until it all starts again! You cannot imagine what it feels like to have about 20 people per week visiting your home and all asking the same question as of how does he feel, "are you alright?" questions, which truly have no place.

The system must change, and a single-point of communication must be in place, where people are not repeating themselves like parrots and asking us the same questions again, again, and again without providing any positive result of recovery.

When people cry they have lost investments I would say: "You could lose it all thousand times and come back alive, but when you are losing your beloved one, there is only one life to lose!" I reacted and did all to give up my Battersea London home office and move back to my family to support them, working remotely, still traveling, but still being by my moms side with a helping shoulder.

I want to say thank you to all the #Leicester District Nurses, Leicester ICRS Care team, LOROS, LRI medical staff that are doing everything what they can in terms of medicine, care, help, support AND I would like to make this page raise #CANCER #AWARENESS across the #GLOBE!!!

From this charity I have only 3 (three) wishes:
1. Help my mom to guide my dad with dignity when the time comes... ;(
2. Help people in need!
3. If the page reaches over GBP 1,000,000 in donations, I will put this amount in an Investment Trust Fund set against FTSE All-World Index, S&P Global 100 Index, S&P Global 1200 Index, Dow Jones Global Titans 50 and Russell Global Index - that will grow over time as our World's economy develops. The resulting final value of the donated money will accumulate in value and it will be awarded to a Scientist or team of Scientists that will have discovered a 100% successful and clinically trialled and proven cure to any form of Cancer and this money will serve as a reward for their work.

If this funding page will prove to be SUCCESSFUL, I will raise our initial donation threshold of GBP 200,000 which was set for my dad's 2 year private immunotherapy plan (that reached 0 (zero) donations), and let this funding page run indefinitely. With this page, I hope to get media attention for CANCER AWARENESS by the help of YOUR contribution. Thank you!

Update (2019.03.29): Told dad goodbye in the morning at 5:45am before leaving to London for business. Dad died 2019.03.29 5:05pm. Any help is appreciated, his will is to get cremated. The donations page will be left open to fulfil the three steps of my promises.

Rest in Peace! Thank you all for support!

Dear World ;(((

Just before Christmas, on 21st December my dad (61) was discovered a metastatic 4 cm lesion in his lower oesophagus at 42cm. Biopsies have confirmed an adenocarcinoma. His staging confirmed liver metastasis (T3 N3 M1).

These months have become a shock to our family.  We are ordinary people with ordinary jobs. Dad worked in a stationary distribution company as a fork lift truck driver, my mom in a fulfilment company, myself a development manager. We have tried the treatments NHS had offered us, including my dad received two blood transfusions and radiotherapy and was admitted to hospital for 10 days.

Now has been discharged as of end of February 2019 and is staying at home. He has eating difficulty and we can't see him suffer, therefore our family is asking for the last chance to seek Private Medical Healthcare Immunotherapy or guide him with dignity.

There are no other options, all we need is to get him well and bring him back to normal life. We will be grateful for any help from your side, as long as we can provide the necessary life support.

Thank you, all!
