Help Kitty Wells Beat the Cancer Beast

Donation protected
THANK YOU so much for reading this.  I never thought I’d do a GoFundMe, but when my rare and aggressive cancer totally ignored radiation and chemo to keep spreading, I knew I had to change tracks and put aside all hesitations, reservations and pride and just go for it:

I NEED YOUR HELP to get life-saving treatments, and am incredibly grateful for any funds and ALL prayers and love. Also, PLEASE SHARE this with all of our mutual friends as I've been so busy and distracted I've only reached a fraction of our community. This would be a HUGE HUGE help, thank you.

BACKGROUND:

In Dec 2020 I was rushed to UCSF for emergency surgery. The pathology report, released in Jan 2021, showed an unusual, aggressive Stage 3c uterine cancer. After consulting with conventional oncologists, integrative/holistic oncologists, and cancer survivors and thrivers, I opted for a combination of conventional chemoradiation and natural treatments to reduce the side effects and toxicity.


This is a very unusual cancer, and is probably a result of the drug DES my mother took when she was pregnant with me. DES causes a lifetime risk of gynecological cancers in daughters who were exposed before birth.

It’s a nasty and aggressive beast –after major surgery, 25 rounds of radiation, 2 rounds of chemo, and massive amounts of supplements, it didn’t slow.

Last week I was shocked to learn that instead of receding, it actually spread and multiplied and is now officially Stage 4.

It jumped the boundaries of radiation and ignored the chemo to spread to my lungs, pelvis, kidneys and maybe adrenals.

This crazy cancer requires fast and aggressive counteraction.  

HERE’S THE PLAN AND HOW I WILL USE THE FUNDS RAISED:


After speaking with my oncologist at UCSF, who agrees that more chemo is not advised, she gave me her OK to pursue an intensive therapy in Mexico. I have committed to this course of action, also with my husband Frank’s blessing: get down to CHIPSA Hospital in Tijuana for the best combination of immunotherapy and VEGF inhibitor therapy possible.

CHIPSA  (Centro Hospitalario Internacional del Pacifico, S.A.) is the original Gerson Therapy hospital, has been on the forefront of immunotherapy for decades, and is emerging as the leader in truly integrative cutting-edge cancer care.

It’s not cheap, but they offer an incredibly menu of therapies that, when layered together, has the strongest potential for slowing down this BEAST of a cancer and putting it into remission. I listed the menu of treatments at the end of this message.

Earlier this week I spoke with a lovely older lady from Nashville who had Stage 4 uterine cancer metastasized to her lungs and liver. She was in dreadful shape – in a wheelchair, overweight, standard American diet. She went to CHIPSA – and here she is 4 years later doing well.

This Stage 4 thing is pretty scary, but I’m still very confident that I can beat it. It’s like the wildfire jumped the highway, but it can still be contained.

Our community just lost one of our most beloved Goddesses to an aggressively spread Stage 4 cancer, and as much as I love and adore and miss her, I’m not ready to follow her footsteps and meet her on the other side.

This life is too awesome, too full of love, wonder and WOW.... I'm definitely not ready to check out yet! Despite Stage 4 cancer, I feel vital and strong and ready to slay this beast!!!!!! Frank is my Angel and Hero, and will be with me in Mexico and every step of the way.  (continue below photo...)



ALL SUPPORT WELCOMED & APPRECIATED!

Thank you so much for any help you might be able to offer. This is a matter of life and death, and I really really appreciate whatever you might be able to contribute.

PLEASE PRAY & SHARE
 

I understand it’s been a tough year for a lot of people. If you can’t afford to contribute, PLEASE PRAY FOR ME and PLEASE SHARE THIS with people we know. That would be of tremendous help. I’ve not told many people about this so far but now I’m ready to come out of the “Big C” closet in a big way.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

I'll post lots of updates here and on a private FB group as well.



USE OF FUNDS/ MENU OF TREATMENTS  

Treatments will use all or most of the therapies below, plus funds will allow some treatments to continue at home. There is a clinic in Sebastopol where I can continue high dose Vitamin C and ozone therapy. I'll send updates of my actual treatment plan.
 
DC-MAX (Dendritic Cell Immunotherapy)
DC MAX -- DC - MAX Multiple studies are going on in the United States and throughout the world focusing on Dendritic cell vaccines for patients. The first FDA approved dendritic cell treatment was called Provenge, which led to a Nobel Prize being won. This treatment is now approved but at the high cost of $94,000 to the patient for 3 doses. These approaches use stored antigens that are not from the patient. CHIPSA believes the very best possible tumor antigen is from the patient’s own body. They expand the dendritic cells and give them back to the body whole a danger signal is present. This personalized version of this cellular product is unique to CHIPSA and not available anywhere else.

VG-5000 (Anti-angiognesis)
Placental endothelium derived vaccine which induces tissue-nonspecific anti-tumor immunity by blocking tumor angiogenesis.

Apatone® (High Dose Vitamin C + K3 IVs)
Proprietary therapy that exhibits synergistic anti-tumor activity and preferentially kill tumor cells by autoschizis, a type of cell death characterized by exaggerated membrane damage and progressive loss of organelle-free cytoplasm through a series of self-excisions. This patented technology allows up to 400% more intravenous or oral vitamin C into the cancer cell. CHIPSA is the only hospital in the world approved to use Apatone.

Gerson Immunotherapy Protocol
Foundational immuno-nutrition therapy combining a specialized diet, juices, and enemas.

GcMAF
CHIPSA's proprietary blend of protein macrophage activating factors. Macrophages are a type of white blood cell of the immune system that engulfs and digests cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes  cancer cells, and anything else that does not have the type of proteins specific to healthy body cells on its surface. By activating these macrophages the patient's immune system has a chance to identify and clear cancer cells.

Insulin Potentiated Therapy [IPT]
Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) uses a combination of two orthodox drugs – insulin (actually insulin is also found in nature) and a chemotherapy drug. Cancer cells have highly active insulin receptors.

The theory for IPT is that insulin works on the cell membranes and allows chemotherapy to target cancer cells. Thus, it is the chemotherapy that kills the cancer cells, however, because of the insulin, the amount of chemotherapy needed is greatly reduced, meaning the side-effects of the chemotherapy are greatly reduced. Thus, the chemotherapy is much more potent (thus the word: potentiation), much less chemotherapy is needed, and far less side-effects are experienced.

Coley's Therapy [Mixed Vaccine]
The treatment consists of a sterile (dead) mixture of gram-positive Streptococcus pyogenes and gram-negative Serratia marcescens bacteria. Using a killed bacterial suspension, mimics an infection (producing chills and fever) and accompanying immune response, without incurring the risks of an actual infection. This coaxes the immune system to fight cancer and other disease by releasing a dendritic cell storm. This treatment was made famous by Dr. William Coley, the father of immunotherapy.

IV Ozone Therapy
Blood is drawn and Ozone is added to the drawn blood. It is then run through a UV A, B, and C light to further clean it of pathogens. The stimulation of the Ozone and UV light create a vaccine like immune response. This a powerful immuno-stimulant and is known for its antiviral effects and anti-bacterial effects. It also protects cells against extra damage from chemotherapy.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments (HBO)
Hyperbaric oxygen can be used to overcome hypoxia. This is important because cancer stem cells thrive in hypoxic environment. HBO is based on administration of 100% oxygen at higher than normal atmospheric pressure. HBO treatment enhances the amount of dissolved oxygen in the plasma, thereby increasing O2 tissue delivery independent of hemoglobin.

PEMF Therapy
Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field Therapy has been shown to increase oxygen uptake in the cells by up to 200%. It also increases neural stem cell production. It works by shooting a pulsed electromagnetic field into the body or problem area. Many patients use it for pain and have a tremendous reduction in just 20 minutes a day. PEMF therapy is FDA approved in the United States for depression and mending fractured bones. The all around health benefits make it a favorite to many of the patients.
