Help John Fight the Good Fight !

Donation protected
Gifts, cards, checks, money orders, and letters of encouragement can all be written out to: John Atkinson 4132 Atlanta Hwy Ste 110-222 Loganville, GA 30052
Goals: #1 To raise enough money to have John treated at Cancer Institute Centers of America in Atlanta, GA. (They will not accept his Medicare health insurance). #2 To help John pay for his prescriptions, because his health insurance does not cover prescriptions, at all. (Some cancer medications can cost up to $100,000 a year just for one prescription). #3 To keep a continuous supply of cancer fighting supplements and an ample stock of nutritious/organic food. #4 To help John cover back and forth transportation and travel expenses to all of his treatments, church, support groups, and doctor appointments. #5 John's bills/debts. He is now unable to work at this time and it would be helpful for him to receive financial support to cover those expenses. #6 A conversion van with a bed in the back to provide good circulation, healing, comfort, and painless ease in/out between his treatments. ***************†*************** This is for John Atkinson. My name is Richard Cuthbert, and I am compelled to help John fight the good fight . John says, "I want to live, I want to be there for my family, and continue to help others." I have known him and his family personally for over 15 years. Certain members of my family have known him and his family for over 40 years. John is now up for the fight of his life. John and his family are aware that modern medicine has made little advance in it's war on cancer. Because of this, they have chosen to include complimentary and alternative medicine in their fight against cancer. John is seeking to have a naturopathic oncologist as part of his cancer treatment. Unfortunately, his health insurance doesn't cover that. January 30th, 2015 he was officially diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma Metastasis. Two weeks prior to that he was helping a neighbor that had a dishwasher needing fixed. As he was under the kitchen cabinet he moved his body in a way that must of jolted the tumor growth that was the size of a softball growing out of his right kidney into his interior vena cava vein. It was then that he started bleeding, which showed up in his urine with continuous blood clots. After that was when he went to the hospital. He then experienced a quick and traumatic time frame of being told he could die any minute following four surgeries which included an IVC filter placement, complete nephrectomy, tumor removal from his largest vein in his body, and clot removal knowing that the chances of him surviving each one were grim. It was even more critical because of the pulmonary embolisms in his two lungs from the kidney with the tumor, which was removed. John is extremely thankful for all of the prayers for he knows that is why he is blessed to be alive today. ***He was released from the hospital on January 28th, 2015 to finish recovering at home from the surgeries while having over fifty staples, and over sixty stitches. January 30th, 2015 he found out that in addition, the cancer had also spread from his right kidney to his lymph nodes. His doctor said he has stage 3 and a half cancer (in between stage 3 and stage 4). His cancer is currently localized, but John is in need of high quality aggressive treatment so that his cancer doesn't further spread, and to also assist in treating the grade four cancer cells that currently exist. John has chosen Cancer Treatment Centers of America because they treat the body as a whole, not just the cancer itself, which includes but not limited to naturopathic care, focus on nutrition, traditional medicine, and holistic medicine. For John's type of cancer, radiation and chemotherapy is not recommended because it does not respond well. Cancer Treatment Centers of America said they could not treat John, because there is a limited amount of slots available every year for Medicare patients and that the slots were all filled up. I'm asking for you to be part of this much needed cause and join in John's effort so that he has an excellent choice in how he is treated to help him conquer this mental and physical cancer war. ***John is a good family man, he has worked hard all of his life with his bare hands in carpentry, welding, and mechanics. Not a wealthy man by any means, but rich in heart, as he has never missed an opportunity to help another. This has included family, friends, neighbors, and strangers. If you were broken down on the road, he wouldn't be one to pass by. He would stop and fix your car for free. He would help in any way that he could. This is John Atkinson. He is a people person, never met a stranger in his life, and uses his unique personality to make anyone feel at ease, regularly making them smile or laugh. If your pipes under your house froze and busted, he would be underneath your house in freezing temperatures so you and your family would have heat, just out of the kindness of his heart. I have seen him give refrigerators and washing machines to families in need, his heart is truly limitless. Now he needs us, our prayers, support and our compassion. He wants to fight this and continue to be there for his children and others. John's children lost their mother to cancer in 2006. John's own mother is 91 years old, and no mother should have to bury her son, especially to a relentless cancer that prematurely ends life. He will live many more productive years to come if given the right chances and opportunities. ***He is currently eating organic food, taking powerful immune system boosters, and using cancer cell killing supplements. His road ahead of him is going to be a costly one indeed. Even if CTCofA would of accepted him with his current health insurance, there would still be hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket money needed for a complete, well rounded diverse cancer treatment. With proper treatment in all fields necessary to accomodate his medical/nutritional needs and expenses will be an ongoing uphill battle for sometime, perhaps years. His medical need is great and it is calling for ground breaking traditional medicine and breakthroughs, to include well established naturopathic experts trained to boost his immune system working alongside with modern day cancer specialists so that he can have the best outcome for fighting this cancer, giving his body the strength it needs to fight back for maximum healing and recovery. ***God has given us human resources, gifted doctors, and everything we need to fight and reverse disease naturally which includes select herbs, organic food, roots, extracts, compounds, oils, and other natural remedies. John has never had any prior health issues. Let's help him have access to all that is available during this unexpected economical hardship. Different natural healing approaches sometimes can be costly but certainly proven to be worthwhile such as daily cancer fighting supplements, the calling for a special diet, organic food, whole food vitamins, special water, minerals, and more. ***All gifts/donations to John on this site or by mail will go directly to John to assist him during the greatest challenge of his life so that he can so focus on getting better without financial limitations so he can overcome his cancer successfully. We have all witnessed and/or lost too many sisters, brothers, fathers, other family members, friends, and neighbors due to cancer robbing us of meaningful life. Its time to change the way cancer is thought of and treated. With outgoing support, encouragement, prayers, faith, philanthropic giving, and private donations this can be a moving story with powerful updates having a happy ending for John and his loved ones. Thank you for your support, this wouldn't be possible to accomplish without you ! Please help John fight the good fight. With natural and alternative medicine, John wants to live and not have cancer rob him and his loved ones of their future together. May God bless you and yours.
