Pablo is a 8 year survivor of terminal, inoperable brain cancer. He needs help to combat an ongoing underlying health issue.
I am trying to raise money to afford to pay for the biological removal of my fillings by a SMART registered Dentist. It’s going to cost £3000-4000 to get 11 mercury fillings removed and another £1000 or more for the supplements to detox after each removal. The dentist practice is in Marlow & I live in devon so add to that travel costs and Lodgings for myself, my fiance and 2 children is going to make it even more of a financial burden.
I am asking for your help. I am at a point where I have 2 young children, a 3yr old and a newborn. I want to ensure that my life continues and that I am there for them as they grow older.
My name is Pablo Kelly & upon diagnosis of my malignant, inoperable grade 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme brain tumour, my family & I were devastated and afraid of what may or may not come next for me! I have epilepsy as a result of this.
My life was great, up until that single, life altering point where the Doctors told me; ‘there could be a “mass” or “something”, within my brain.
It shatters your perceptions of what really matters in life. It also changes your perceptions of what no longer matters in life.
You become a shell of who you were, and you may put on a brave face, but inside all you are doing is curling up into a ball and shedding tears over a life that could be lost…
I know this because in 2014, when it all began for me, I was a broken man and I thought that I was going to lose my life.
After a Biopsy to discover what kind of brain tumour I had, I chose to regain some control over my fate. I was told that statistically I had 12-15 months left to live with Chemotherapy & Radiotherapy & 6-9 months without. I was told that the standard of care would cause loss of hair, a weakened immune system and possible impotence.
I was at the point in my life where having children with my girlfriend was something we both desired and upon hearing I would lose the ability to reproduce naturally, there was no doubt in my mind that I would rather not forgoe that possibility.
I had heard of a way of eating that helped children with epilepsy reduce their symptomns and bettered their lives as well as being anti-inflammatory and cutting out refined sugars, a ketogenic diet. I also met a woman who had managed to utilise this diet for her low grade brain tumour.
I made a decision to opt out of chemotherapy and radiotherapy and in turn try this diet alongside supplements, with the guidance of a dietician from a charity, Matthews Friends. The cost of supplements and consultations with nutritionists, bloodwork to make sure I was maximising the efficacy of the diet and supplements was staggering though and continues to be to this day!
As you can tell, I am still vey much alive and have continued to defy the odds I was given. My tumour became operable in 2017 where I had an awake craniotomy surgery to debulk 80% of the mass, unfortunately I had a reoccurance in 2018 and changed to a zero carbohydrate carnivore diet and used intermittent fasting to great effect. My tumour was stable until 21st December 2021 where I underwent another awake craniotomy to debulk the tumour. I got home christmas day.
I have underlying health issues and I really need to get a handle on them. My mercury fillings, which I have 11 of, are leaking into my body and as a result, making my epilepsy worse.
I am unable to work as I am a liability, what with my epilepsy being uncontrolled. My partner is also my carer and would need to be there to support me as we travel and stay in Marlow. I am on disability benefits and can barely afford to live as it is. I am in debt to my creditors and have no way to afford any of this but I know that I must do this. I must focus on healing all of my ailments in a bid to extend this already, wonderful and gifted time I have been given! Having children is solidifying in me my will to live, but I have no idea what is in store for me as a GBM4 diagnosis is a death sentence. www.gocrowdera.com
I just want to live…
