Remove large Lipoma from the back of the head
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Fahad Alwi. This year has been a hard year for me, I am sure many people are also going through their own trials and I wish everyone well.
I was diagnosed with heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol with some arteries moderately blocked. Unfortunately, before I could begin to come to terms with such news I developed a non-cancerous Lipoma at the back of my head. It’s causing me a lot of pain and pressure to my head but after seeing my GP and visiting the A&E several times to have it removed,
I have been advised that it cannot be removed on the NHS as to their standards, it is not considered life-threatening and anything that is not life-threatening does not warrant surgery on the NHS.
This has caused me a lot of stress as I am limited with what I can do as only private medical centres will treat me. The costs associated to remove such benign lipomas cost upwards of £1500.00.
I have no savings and live barely paycheque to paycheque. My mental health has been really affected with the many health issues I have had at such a young age from osteoarthritis, a fractured lumbar, bi-lateral varicocele and heart disease.
I am both extremely embarrassed and thankful I have the ability to ask you all for your support. If you are able to help me reach my goal so I can have the surgery and remove a major pain causing and stress inducing medical emergency from my life, I will forever cherish and appreciate your support.
Thank you if you are also unable to, just taking the time to read and empathise with my situation is already more than I could ever ask for.
I wish you all a great day and amazing rest of the year. My love and prayers are with you all.
