Treatment for Immunotherapy for lung & bone cancer
Donation protected
Hi all, this is the last thing I ever wanted to do.
I'm currently receiving chemotherapy and immunotherapy for lung cancer & bone cancer for the last 2 years. Thankfully this treatment has shrunk my cancer previously in my lung and kept everything at bay since, in 6 months time unfortunately the NHS will not fund my Immunotherapy even though it's currently helping keep things at bay, all because of funding and licensing.
I have a 14 year old boy who's autistic none verbal & depends on me and I just want as much time with him as I possibly can..
I'm trying to raise money so I can get private treatment like my doctor suggested. Even if it's a few extra cycles I get to have it's not promised but maybe it will keep me here that bit longer with my son & family it really would mean the world to me to get that extra time with them..
Immunotherapy alone is roughly £2700 for each cycle but that doesn't include all the other fees like doctors an nurses time etc.
I feel so low having to do this, honestly it's the worst thing In the world having to put pressure on others to try an help literally keep me alive my heart is torn. I'm literally stuck in a rut an I feel like giving up but then look at my boys face an I just can't it's so hard if I didn't have any kids/ family I'd have gave up 2 years ago but I just can't stop trying it's so daunting the thought of leaving my son behind when he can't even speak for himself at the age of 14 I still have to wash him prompt him to go to toilet / prompt him to eat drink and do anything an it's killing me inside knowing this isn't enough for the NHS to keep funding my treatment.
What do you do in a situation like this? I can't just die without trying something an this is my only option
