32 & Battling Stage 4 Terminal Lung Cancer
Donation protected
Hi , my name is Oliver , I’m fundraising to help make memories with my wife & to complete my bucket list just small things in life I’m not looking to do much just a night away or dinner it’s making the small memories that matter to me
i was diagnosed with stage 4 Lung Cancer at the age of 26 in 2019 which was in my left lung ,Spine & bones in back
As of the 4th of March this year (2024) my wife’s birthday I ended up in hospital having multiple seizures which had left me paralysed down the left hand side of my body , on that day it was confirmed my Cancer had spread to my Kidney , Esophagus, & Brain .
Took me 3 weeks of recovery with me being paralysed, but with my wife by my side helping me in and out of the shower , also into the wheelchair etc ..
im now at the stage where im
now walking with a stick
After Many tests from the hospital they discovered the brain tumour was 26mm in size in my brain / due to the size the pressure on my brain ended up causing me to have multiple seizures I’m now on a number or medications & steroids to hopefully reduce this however when I was in hospital they asked me about a DNR something I’m not 100% about & something we are not thinking about at the moment but still daunts us knowing a decision will have to be made one day .
I’ve been given the news of 5months to 5years due to the progression & unfortunately that will not change due to the information from multiple consultants obviously that’s just not enough time but I have to keep pushing myself this cancer will not win I won’t let it
Unfortunately even with medication I’m constantly in pain on a daily basis struggling to do the things I once loved to do like fishing , driving , etc ..
im now 32 years old all I’m looking to do now is make memories with my wife with the time I have left
i am battling this Cancer each & everyday fighting as hard as possible to be here for my wife
Thankyou for any help towards making the time I have left memorable
