Description
I have colon cancer that has spread to my liver. Because of the chemotherapy I’ve been undergoing for the past two years, I lost my balance for a few moments and fell over. I have fractured my spine in four places and urgent surgery is required so that I can walk again. I am optimistic about the cancer; although the treatment is very tiring and very painful, the cancer is in remission. However, because of the spinal fractures, I am unable to do anything; I am bedridden and my wife has had to give up her job to look after me. Only this operation to cement the fractured vertebrae can restore my independence and allow me to continue fighting this cruel disease with courage. Thank you in advance!
