We need your aid with subject’s cancer

Mary Shinn’s insightful article (“

The article examined the allopathic and alternative methods used during this five-year journey. This update shares further information and a request for help.

Since the article’s publication, Tom is grappling with new tumors appearing in his abdomen – the biggest setback we’ve experienced during the five years. With the earlier success of combined intravenous Vitamin C, low-dose Chemotherapy and Hyperthermia (heating) which shrunk Tom’s tumors and supported his immune system, doctors are urging him to immediately add hyperthermia to his current treatment plan.

It is clear that more intensive treatments are urgently needed and the closest location is British Columbia. This treatment is not available in the U.S. and is not covered by insurance.

Many of us in this day and age know someone fighting for their lives or have already had cancer rob them of a beloved, a friend or a colleague. Please help Tom continue treatments that have allowed him to defy the odds. Our caring community is over 56,000 strong. If you donate what you can and urge a friend or relative to also go to Tom’s site (www.gofundme.com/qurww-tom039s-cancer-battle) and give, we can make a difference in this remarkable man’s journey.

United as a community, we can be stronger then even cancer.

Thank you for responding to our call for help and best wishes for meaningful holidays to you and yours.
