One year, maybe two, left to live?

I recently went for a consultation with Dr. Andrew McDonald of ABJ Oncology at ACT Oncolab at Netcare, Pretoria East, to try and find a way forward in my battle with cancer.

After my struggle in getting help from the government and public healthcare system, and basically being sent home to die, along with a note to see a psychiatrist to help cope with the situation, since there’s nothing more that the government healthcare system can do for me, I was willing to try anything else that may work.

I started an alternative treatment plan consisting of Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, and Mebendazole, along with a strict diet. After over six months of being on this treatment, not much has changed. The cancer kept spreading throughout my lymphatic system, and I even developed Lymphedema in my right arm.

The alternative treatment that I am on is highly praised throughout the anti-big-pharma community as being highly effective, with hundreds of unverifiable testimonials of people who have been fully healed through this treatment. I mentioned this treatment to my new clinical oncologist/hematologist, and he said that; there has indeed been lab studies where this alternative medication kills cancer when applied directly to the cancer cell, but in order for it to be an effective treatment in the human body, I would have to take so much of it that it would destroy my liver in the process. The small amount that the human body is able to handle without resulting in liver failure is like “trying to kill an elephant with a peashooter.” It may have perhaps slowed the cancer, or helped prevent it from going into vital organs, but it hasn’t stopped the spread entirely, and I’m more likely to experience liver failure than remission if I continue with this treatment.

What I need is scientifically proven, clinical treatment from professionals who know what they’re doing and actually have a viable solution.

A couple of years ago, my diagnosis would’ve been a death sentence, since no viable treatment existed, but thanks to the advances in cancer research and medical science, a new treatment has become available, giving renewed hope that I may actually beat this, provided that I can actually get the treatment that I need.

The new treatment is Immunotherapy, but the catch is that it’s extremely expensive and not covered by any public, government, or private medical aid here in South Africa. In order to beat cancer, I would need to somehow raise over one million ZAR (approx. 88,000 USD), and I need to do so quickly, so that I can beat the cancer and go into remission before it’s too late.

I’ve started a crowdfunding campaign in order to achieve this, but asking for such a large sum to be donated feels unrealistic and perhaps even delusional, but I am desperate. I want to survive. I want to live. I want to thrive. But I can only do so if I can afford this new treatment. So now, I’ve put the campaign out there, wishing, hoping, and waiting.

In the meantime, I’m still doing whatever else I can in the alternative treatment field in order to slow the spread or at least keep it out of my vital organs somehow. Alternative treatments seem to be effective in this regard, but for a full remission, and to become cancer-free, I still need Immunotherapy, and a stem-cell transplant once in remission, in order to prevent a future recurrence.

The bottom line is that, in order for me to survive in this capitalist system, I need a large amount of money to pay for for-profit healthcare, for the chance to actually beat cancer, and to hopefully live longer than for just another year or two.
