My Final Round Against Cancer

In April 2011 after a five year long battle against cancer I was told by the oncologists to enjoy the last months of my life, the chances were that I was not going to make Christmas.

I had no choice, make peace with the fact that my life is over and wait for death. It is now December 2012 and I am still here, and a new experimental cure has recently been approved in the USA for my type of cancer. It is very expensive and experimental drugs are not paid for by the medical aids. If I have any chance on life this is my final round.

It is for this reason that I ask you to help me save my life. I do not know the reasons for life, but I do want to live.
