Organizer: LORDS CANCER CAREBeneficiary: Michael Lord
Fight for Mike is a campaign to raise money for Mike Lord's fight again Stage IV colon, liver, and lung cancer, particularly funding the cost to travel to Germany for alternative treatment.

Mike Lord is a relatively quite person who does not like to bring any attention to himself. His greatest passion is fishing and his family.

Mike's story started a little over a year ago .  He was 47 years old, married to Debbie, and had 3 furbabies.   Mike appeared to be in perfect health.  Mike had a cough in February of 2013 that just would not go away.  After no improvement with prescriptions, a chest x-ray was ordered which diagnosed lung cancer. From there, a CT scan was ordered which revealed liver cancer and then a PET scan which revealed colon cancer - and this is very everything started.

Mike started chemotherapy treatment in April of 2013.   During this time, information about alternative cancer  treatment at Klinik Marinus am Stein in Brannenburg, Germany was presented to him.  After researching and speaking to others who had been there for treatment, Mike's mind was made up, this is where he wanted to go for positive cancer treatment.  While waiting to receive confirmation that the clinic would be able to accept Mike as a patient, he underwent a total of 6 chemotherapy treatments here at home as well as Vitamin C infusions.

Mike made the trip to Germany in August of 2013 for 3 weeks.  There the treatment consisted of hyperthermia, high dose Vitamin C infusions, mistletoe injections, oxygen therapy, etc. - all holistic, gentle treatments. Ultrasound testing in Germany and subsequent PET scan here in the states revealed no sign of the colon cancer.  However, Mike's oncologist states he still has colon cancer.

Mike was able to hold his own doing the allowed alternative treatments available here in the United States.   However, by February 2014, his cancer marker was starting to go back up.  At that time, Mike was forced to start chemotherapy again to try to shrink the tumors down knowing all the while what the chemotherapy drugs were doing to his body.  Mike will have a total of 10 chemotherapy treatments here before going back to Germany for a 2 week stay.  While things seem to be going the other way, we need them to continue in that manner.    Mike wants them to continue to be done so in a positive, healthy manner.  That is why he wants to return to the clinic in Germany.  

Any donation amount will help get Mike to Germany and will be greatly appreciated.  no amount is too big or small.
