Chinmaya’s cancer companions

To all my friends whom I have loved and who have loved me.

First and foremost this is a GoHealMe appeal. I will be grateful simply for your blessings for my healing, although funds are still needed for my treatments if any of you feel like sharing (again).. Three months ago I was diagnosed with Stage 4 osophagus cancer. It has been a deeply disturbing and painful time both for me and for Naveena and our 15-year old daughter Koyal as my weight and energy levels collapsed.

The GOOD NEWS is, that thanks to all your generosity, we now have enough funds for construction of an outside shower/toilet/extension to our little garden summerhouse, to turn it into a healing space for me and to let Naveena and Koyal have some space in our tiny cottage. Work should complete in mid -January.

For those of you who feel able to support us financially, I am asking for funds to help us continue to pay for the alternative treatment plan I am following. Conventional chemo and operation have been ruled out by my oncologist as my lungs are too severely damaged (years of smoking, I'm afraid) This is proving to be expensive and ongoing. I am not yet able to put a final price on it, but with your understanding I will now keep this fundraiser open.

This is the treatment plan from my integrative doctor Rajendra Sharma:

Orally:A combination of Artesunate (wormwood), Resvetarol (active ingredient in red grapes) and Melatonin.

Subcutaneous: Mistletoe

Intravenously: 20+ doses of alternate curcumin (turmeric) and hi-dose Vitamin C

Plus continuing a huge range of nutritional and medical supplements that support my immune system and overall healing abilities.

I am feeling a little stronger every day, surrounded as I am by so much love and care. And I'm determined to heal so that I can continue my life aim of leaving this Earth a little more beautiful than I found it.

With love and gratitude

Chinmaya
