Please help me make a difference...
To anyone who has ever had or known another person with cancer it is automatic to know that its horrible, it flat out sucks! I am 26 years old and have joined the war of millions in the fight against cancer.
On my 24th birthday I was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer, an angiosarcoma. An angiosarcoma is a cancer of the blood vessels and is a very aggressive and rare form of cancer that can grow anywhere in my body and in any tissue. To give an idea of its rarity there are only a handful of published cases, so there is very little information provided on proper protocol against this disease.
Since April of 2008, I have undergone 31 treatments of chemotherapy and 3 Major surgeries. I have received 6 different agents of chemotherapy that all have a common effect, they eliminate cancer cells from the body. Ideally this sounds like a miracle, however it is not. The effects of the procedures and treatments done on my body have not only been detrimental to my healing, they have been life changing. I am no longer capable of having my own children as my reproductive system has been removed, I have lost my hair for the 3rd time in my life, my immune system is compromised after every treatment where a simple cold can become life threatening and eating a simple meal can be a challenge as the nausea is debilitating.
In August 2009 I received news that no person should ever hear, I was given 6 months to live with chemotherapy treatments. It has now been over a year later and I am doing very well. A huge part to my ongoing recovery began when I started a natural regime over a year ago. This regime consists of natural medications and vitamins that all target the immune system and major organs in the body that are all affected and diminished in capacity due to chemotherapy. What better way to fight cancer then with the chemotherapy medications as well as a strong body and immune systemÉ When you have a life threatening disease such as myself you need everything fighting in your favour. Since I began this natural regime the side effects from the chemotherapy have been minimal and my recovery has been much faster. the tumour has shrunk significantly, the doctors have called me a medical miracle. The cancer is not letting up though and has yet to be completely eradicated.
This is where I ask anyone and everyone for help. As the treatments are ongoing until scans prove my cancer is clear from my body I will be raising funds to help pay for this life saving natural medicine that is unfortunately not covered by the government. Please help me make a difference in my life.
I will NOT back down, I will NOT give up, I AM a fighter, and I AM a survivor!
Thank you for all your support!
