My son (25) has terminal cancer. This is his last wish

I can't believe I am writing these words because it's like a terrible nightmare that we can't wake up from, but I'm setting up this fund so that we can bring my son, who is only 25, for Immunotherapy abroad. 

In January this year my 24 year old son Rua started noticing a weakness in his left leg. This gradually got worse and in early March, we went to the hospital. After sitting in A&E for 3 days, he was advised he had a spinal tumor and was admitted to hospital. 

At the end of March he had a 6.5 hour surgery to try to remove the tumor but it was unsuccessful. Two months before Rua's 25th birthday he was diagnosed with a grade 4 Astrocytoma, which basically is an incurable spinal tumor which doesn’t react to Chemo.

Rua recently completed 28 sessions of Radio therapy, in the hope it will shrink the tumor.

You make all these plans, and then life comes along and gets in the way. We have looked into optional treatments in Ireland and abroad but treatment is limited for the type of tumor Rua has. Doctors told us it is a very rare and very aggressive tumor, and really just a matter of time.

Since there is no cure, Immunotherapy is our last hope to prolong his life.

This is why this GoFundMe campaign is so important.

Our lives have been shattered into a million pieces by this cancer diagnosis. It doesn't feel real, but it would be such a gift to let him have this treatment.

We've never asked for help before but this would mean the world to Rua & our family. We'd need to have two people with him for the trip, so even using our savings means we still need to raise €40,000.

Anything that you can give would be such a huge help. Thank you so much for your kindness. 

His heartbroken mam, Sinéad
