Funding Daniel's Fight Against Cancer

Daniel has been told that there is nothing else Western Medicine can do to fight his cancer and we are looking to fund alternative treatment

Taranaki

My father, Daniel, has cancer.

A few years ago he was diagnosed with colon cancer and he went through chemo, radiation and an operation to have a colostomy bag.

He proceeded with some post-op chemo but he appeared to be clear of it then.

Midway through last year it was discovered that a cell from the previous cancer had reared its head and reoccurred in the back of the bladder, in the right pelvic sidewall and in a groin node. He has had a double nephrostomy since then to drain his kidneys as he couldn't himself.

Dad was due for an aggressive surgery that would take between 12-20hours. He went into this surgery but came out 3 hours later after they found more cancer (peritoneal) in the lining of his stomach and spots on his bowel. His surgeon had decided it was unethical to continue and informed us that they had done all that they could do with western medicine to attack the cancer. This was a massive shock for us all.

We are now looking to fund alternative treatment to battle the cancer. Daniel has started on intravenous vitamin c but it is an expensive treatment and likely something we can only afford for a few more weeks.

We are hoping that with the donations from our loved ones and possibly even kind strangers we can fight this thing and keep my father on this earth!

The funds from donations will go towards paying for Daniel's alternative treatment methods. This will include financing his regular consultations with an Integrative GP who administers intravenous Vitamin C, as well as other vitamins when necessary whilst also working with him on his overall health. It will also assist in the purchasing of organic hemp oil and mineral salts that Daniel orally self-administers.

Photo attached of Dad from last weekend, spent with lots of family and a super joyous occasion to have all the love we had in one room.

He is feeling very energised from the Vitamin C, sleeping well and currently having it administered twice a week (possibly moving up to three times a week in the very near future).

In addition to this he has been taking several doses a day of Aloe Arborescens (http://www.cancertutor.com/aloearborescens/).

He is coming up to Auckland next week to receive the intravenous Vitamin C treatment and get assessed on how his bloods are to give us a benchmark.

The whole family is so positive about the treatment process and feeling very grateful to everyone who has donated to make this possible.

Let's fight this thing!
