RobertWhitehead Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Pleasure - EWN mentioned that he'll be using the funds to provide an education for his children That is so true. And the thing that got to me, is that I did not ask for donations, the group wanted to assist with donations as we do not have access to all the resources that the US and the UK has access to. The Erbitux in the US is subsidized by the company making it, in South Africa we do not get subsidies at all. The one person asked me who takes me to chemo as most of the US has people driving you to and from treatment centers. All I asked for was prayers. I then sent the lady who banned me from the group a copy of the diagnosis, the biopsy results as well as a report from the doctor.I saw the guy has some R400 000 on his platform already. I just hope that the person uses his funds to educate himself and creates a future for himself and that he wont go on a bender with all the funds.And Amen on the verse! Needed that today. Cois 1
Cois Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 Don’t think I mentioned this, but tears hurts me. It burns my eyes and it burns my skin. And today I must admit, my face and eyes have been burning the whole day. I can’t hold back the tears!Most of the people donating I do not know and some I have never met, but I stand in awe! Thanks to everyone making donations. I am just floored at this moment and do not have enough words in my limited vocabulary to say thanks OneLove, Sepia, Karman de Lange and 4 others 7

Wayne pudding Mol Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 The help coming in for Cois almost restores my faith in humanity- some people donate anonymously and that’s seriously selfless - not diminishing those of us who put a name there but to donate without recognition is super cool - personally feel we should shoot the lights out as 50k doesn’t get far in this fight Cois, BigDL, Sepia and 1 other 4

One session of chemo works out at about R35000. One drip of Erbitux is R26000

Please know that we are all in your corner and that you are never not being thought of by someone. I cannot imagine the journey that you are on, but I wish you strength to overcome the speed bump in your way. Edited June 6, 2019 by BigDL WaynejG, MDJ, Escapee.. and 5 others 8
Cois Posted June 8, 2019 Author Posted June 8, 2019 How are you doing lad?Having trouble sleeping.The Erbitux has a side effect of causing severe acne and it is all over my face, head, back and my legs.The doctor said she will prescribe meds to help, but she had to wait to see if I will have a reaction. So will get the script on Tuesday. Other than that I am doing okay. Just the sleep eluding me is a problem, but that will come right as well. One light point... got my drivers license card yesterday. Only took 11 months to be printed! Was driving like Mrs Daisy the past few months as my card expired last year September. BigDL and Eddy Gordo 2

Cois Posted June 10, 2019 Author Posted June 10, 2019 this is what reaction a Apple Watch causes with Erbitux. This is just a small patch. My face looks like the skin of a Teenager and hurts so much at this stage. The worst is my hair on my head and chest. It is all inflamed and hurting a lot. Read an article online on the chemo treatment. They had a patient that with 400mg dose showed this symptoms. I am getting 900mg per session! So I am glad the doctor is not playing around. I am stressing about tomorrow. The next round of chemo is waiting for me, and it is like a mountain ahead of me. This morning I sent in my application for Rev (transcribing audio files) so just waiting for the yes or no on the application. At least it is a job to do while I am on therapy.
