Fighting cancer and renovating
Donation protected
The man next to me, Janne, is my partner in crime, soul mate, and my absolutely everything. He is the kindest, sweetest person I have ever known and is much loved by his friends and family members. On June the 6th, he was diagnosed with an aggressive stomach cancer. The tomography showed that the cancer was located only in the stomach and in the few closest lymph nodes. At that point, the surgeon told us that the prognosis to recover from removing the stomach would be 70% and the operation would be curative.
On June 21st, he had surgery. The outcome of the surgery hit us like a lightning. The cancer was not only in his stomach but had spread to his liver, spleen and bile, too. Removing the tumor would be impossible. The surgery that should have been curative turned into a palliative one. The only thing they could do was to make a gastric bypass straight to the small intestine, making it more possible for him to eat with the tumor that was still filling his stomach.
At the moment, he is still recovering from the surgery. The most recent blood tests showed that neither his liver nor his bile are functioning normally. Doctors are planning new operations for him. His general condition is now very weak, so he cannot start chemotherapy yet. However, he has the will of a warrior to survive and live.
In the meantime, I am doing everything possible and impossible to boost his immune system with healthy food and vitamins and other supporting treatments, cheering him up and walking beside him through this disease that he has decided to beat.
On top of his battle against cancer, our financial situation is challenging: The supportive treatments and the healthy organic diet cost money. We are both in the middle of our studies and are trying to sell Janne's house, which we cannot afford now. The house is from the fifties and in desperate need of renovation before anyone wants to buy it. We cannot afford to renovate it in this situation. The house loan is cutting a huge part of money from us. We feel stuck in this situation.
Anyone capable of donating and supporting us, please do! Every penny goes to Janne´s care, and any money left goes straight to renovating the house.
Thank you <3
