Hope for Maria Jose: A Journey to Healing

Maria's Battle Against Cancer: A Story of Strength and Determination

Maria’s story began in early 2023 when she started experiencing extreme exhaustion. This escalated dramatically when she collapsed while working at an event at Wimbledon. After a series of routine check-ups and blood tests, she discovered she was iron deficient. However, the underlying cause remained a mystery. Given her family history, particularly losing her father to colon cancer at a young age, her doctors recommended a colonoscopy to rule out anything sinister.

On August 8, 2023, Maria’s worst fears were confirmed. During the colonoscopy, doctors discovered a growth in her large intestine. Six biopsies later, it was confirmed to be a malignant tumor (T3N2M0).

Maria witnessed the devastating effects of traditional cancer treatments firsthand when she lost her father to the same illness at just 19. The "one-size-fits-all" approach not only failed to heal him but also caused significant harm, ultimately leading to his passing just two months after starting treatment. This experience has driven Maria to seek a different, more personalised approach to her own battle with cancer.

On September 16, 2023, Maria sat in the doctor’s office, listening to the proposed treatment plan, which consisted of various trial chemotherapy sessions. It felt like a painful repetition of the journey her father endured. Motivated by her father's experience, in her early 30's, Maria had already made significant lifestyle changes, adopting a plant-based diet and focusing on her mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Despite these efforts, she still fell ill. A genetic test ruled out Lynch Syndrome, leaving her without clear answers.

Determined to find a better way, Maria has over the past year explored a variety of holistic treatments, non which are covered by the NHS, and further having delved into research she has discovered a few clinics in Germany (Hufeland Clinic ), the UK (Hightree Medical Clinic) and Mexico (Hope4Cancer), which offer the approach she is looking for.

These clinics offer a bespoke non-invasive approach to cancer treatments, looking at each patient’s unique case, DNA, microbiome and metabolic system. They provide a carefully designed and monitored treatment plan with one-on-one care.

This comprehensive system will help Maria maintain and build upon the progress made during her initial treatments, ensuring she has the best chance to heal and thrive. This has given Maria a sense of renewed hope, something she has not felt since her diagnosis.

The cost of these clinics which offer a 4-6 week extensive daily treatments, assessments, lodging, flights, specialised food, transfers, aftercare and post treatment home support, amounts to £70,000. This is where we need your help.
