Our dad was diagnosed with a left Tonsil carcinoma (cancer) which had also migrated to the area underneath the tongue on the 5th of May 2017. His diagnosis was confirmed via blood tests, and then a PET scan, which showed that the growth and cancer had not migrated to his chest. The PET scan cost in the region of ZAR22000 (USD1700) which he and his wife were able to pay for with some savings that they had. As our dad is without medical aid, options of chemo/radiation are not financially viable and neither are they very safe, as serious side effects can occur resulting in loss of the mandible (lower jaw) and therefore also can result in having to be tube fed. He found through researching options that the holistic or alternative route would be more in line with retaining a better quality of life.
He has been undergoing intravenous Vitamin C and reflexology treatments every 2 weeks or so, but needs to step these up to every week as opposed to 'when he has the funds' to do so.
He has experienced an immense change in both his health and well-being whilst undergoing these treatments, and wishes to continue on this successful path. However, owing to his finances having all but run out he has had to put a hold on his treatments. As we are all aware where cancer is concerned - the victory against it is all about timing and the right method of treatment for the patient. An amount of ZAR1500.00/USD112.00 is all that's needed per week for him to get the necessary armour in order to continue his thus far successful bid to oust this devil.
At this stage he is not sure if these treatments are working, in a medical sense, as he doesn't have another ZAR22000 for another PET scan. Part of our goal is to raise enough money for him to continue with his treatments, as well as have another PET scan, to see exactly where he is in his treatment, and how much of an effect the treatments have been having.
He has the right attitude and mindset to realise victory - please help us to help him win this already part-the-way-won fight!
God Bless you all.
