The Cause
Sadly, in April 2024 Jon’s chemotherapy treatment was suspended. His cancer has moved to his liver and is growing. The remaining treatment options do not hold promise (long wait-times, and no available clinical trials at present). The news has devastated Jon, his partner and his family, especially as the chemotherapy had been working to a point, only for the tumours to develop resistance in the last month.
Remission is still possible, with the right treatment, if it is given quickly while Jon is still healthy. Each day that goes by with Jon left untreated, decreases his chances of remission.
Private oncology clinics overseas are offering Jon precision-based immunotherapy using extensive genetic testing to treat his cancer. These approaches are not feasible options under the confines of the NHS (brilliant though it is). This targeted approach to Pancreatic Cancer treatment, using the body's own immune system is absolutely crucial for Jonathan's survival.
The medical bills for such advanced treatments are beyond the Ward families’ capabilities. The financial strain is exacerbated by Jon’s inability to work due to fatigue. With your help, we can alleviate some of the financial burden of this life-saving treatment, giving Jon the opportunity to fight the disease into remission. (Which is still possible, if we act quickly).
