Friends, Supporters and Family,
Aqa Aakhu Mothudi was diagnosed on January 2nd, 2007 with breast cancer,
specifically: PR negative, ER and HER2NEU positive invasive ductal carcinoma.
The cancer had already begun to metastasize, spreading into the lymph nodes, by the
time we discovered it. Our doctor counseled us that our response would have
to be swift, aggressive and involve chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. We
have since gone through chemotherapy, surgery, more chemotherapy and more
surgery. The chemotherapy has weakened her heart to the point that the chemo
had to be stopped due to the risk of heart failure. The doctors have advised
us that radiation could burn and permanently scar Aqa Aakhu's lungs. It's
time for a different path.
We've done a considerable amount of research and received lots of
information from conventional doctors, alternative doctors and other medical
professionals. We're convinced that Aqa Aakhu's long-term health will best
be served by focusing on a synergistically-combined conventional and
alternative treatment plan. The toxicity of chemotherapy is legendary, and
almost all hospitals will not consider using it locally near the cancer when
it has not spread throughout the body. Alternative therapies commonly used
in Europe and other countries to fight cancer are not under consideration by
the FDA for approval in the US. We have decided to seek treatment outside of
our country to provide my wife with the best care available and we need your
help to do it. Unfortunately our health insurance doesn't cover such
treatments so we are raising $100,000 to cover the expenses. Our first major
milestone is $35,000 which will allow us to begin Aqa Aakhu's series of
treatments.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our site. We hope you'll be inspired
to make a donation towards our efforts to heal Aqa Aakhu. Any amount you can
spare will help to save a life. If you are not in a position to contribute
at this time, your prayers and well wishes are appreciated and feel free to
forward our site address to others who may be interested in helping.
Enjoy and cherish your health.
