Shelby Lushenko's Cancer Fundraiser

 

        Welcome to Shelby Lushenko's Cancer Treatment Fundraiser

 

This web site was created for those who want to save a life by making *donations to Shelby* to help her with medical treatment costs that are not covered by insurance. Shelby is battling a very serious form of breast cancer and we will need all the assistance that we can generate in order to help Shelby win this battle against cancer. There is a new treatment called Antineoplastons that have proven effective in treating the kind of cancer that Shelby has. We are attempting to create adequate funds to take Shelby to Houston Texas and have her undergo medical treatment using antineoplastons, and other treatments for her difficult cancer. We have decided to create a fund raiser to help generate the necessary funds to treat this cancer. Time is very limited and as the doctor says "time is of the essence." Please take a moment to read Shelby's story and assist us by offering a donation to the PayPal account that we have created for Shelby. We immediately need to raise $5,000 to $10,000 to fly Shelby to Houston Texas to begin the life saving treatments and therapy.

We bless you from the bottom of our hearts!

***SHELBY'S STORY***

 

Hello

My name is Shelby. I am 48 years old and the mother of three children, two girls and one boy. Our two girls are going to college and we are raising our 13 year old son. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 25 years. On April 1, 2009 I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. I underwent 10 months of chemotherapy followed by 6 weeks of radiation therapy. I rallied all my strength just to keep undergoing chemotherapy. After 10 months of treatment they stopped the chemotherapy and I underwent radiation therapy. I became extremely fatigued and in a great deal of pain during radiation therapy but I continued and finished the therapy. Two years went by and I was doing better.

Then I got mysteriously sick and continued to struggle. I saw my doctor and they did a mammogram followed needle biopsies then by a CT scan, MUGA, and a bone scan.

On November 4, 2011 after several biopsies were done, the doctor told me that I had developed a “new breast cancer on the opposite side of my body.” They said that this was rare and never happens. Now I am faced with 6 additional months of chemotherapy followed by a bilateral mastectomy. I was devastated by this news! They also told me that this cancer aggressive and that I must start a stronger dosage of chemotherapy than I had the first time. This “new cancer” is now in the opposite side of my body.

My husband and I searched for complimentary methods of treatment for this new cancer. John, my husband, discovered Dr. Burzynski and his research on antineoplastons. I believe that I have a chance for a cure or a remission if I see Dr. Burzynski. Antineoplastons therapy provides cancer treatment with low dose chemotherapy which reduces the chances of severe side effects including damage to the heart, developing a blood or other cancer, and a host of other complications. Antineoplastons and their derivatives provide specific targeted therapy for your individual cancer. We would like to team up Dr. Burzynski with our wonderful doctors and nurses here at home.

I am asking for *your help.* Our insurance will not cover treatments with Dr. Burzynski. We have drained all of our accounts and simply do not have the funds to begin therapy with Dr. Burzynski.

I would like to live and watch my family grow and experience the joy of our new grand daughter “Lily.” I just can’t miss this. Our son is only 13 years old and he is very frightened that his mom might not be there for him. I have told him that I will fight this new cancer. We cannot fight this disease without the help and kindness of others.

We invite your *donation* to help us battle this cancer.

To make a donation please click on the "DONATION BUTTON" to contribute using PayPal:

I would like to live without the further damaging effects of chemotherapy and radiation but most importantly *I need your help to win this battle against this horrible disease.* I deeply appreciate *any assistance* that you can provide! God bless you, Shelby Lushenko and Family

What are Antineoplastons?
Antineoplastons (ANP) are peptides and amino acid derivatives, discovered by Dr. S. Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D. in 1967.
 
Dr. Burzynski first identified naturally occurring peptides in the human body that control cancer growth. He observed that cancer patients typically had deficiency of certain peptides in their blood as compared to healthy individuals. According to Dr. Burzynski, Antineoplastons are components of a biochemical defense system that controls cancer without destroying normal cells.
 
Chemically, the Antineoplastons include peptides, amino acid derivatives and organic acids. They occur naturally in blood and urine and they are reproduced synthetically for medicinal use. The name of Antineoplastons comes from their functions in controlling neoplastic, or cancerous, cells (anti-neoplastic cells agents).
 
How do Antineoplastons work?
 
Antineoplastons act as molecular switches, which turn off life processes in abnormal cells and force them to die through apoptosis (programmed death of a cell). While they trigger the death of cancer cells, they do not inhibit normal cell growth. They specifically target cancer cells without harming healthy cells.
 
It is generally known that the cancerous process results from increased activity of oncogenes and decreased expression of tumor suppressor genes. Antineoplastons "turn on" tumor suppressor genes and "turn off" oncogenes restoring the proper balance in gene expression.
 
 
 
Personalized Medicine
 
Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach to cancer treatments, the Burzynski Clinic believes that every patient requires a treatment plan as unique as they are.  Burzynski Clinic offers a variety of Personalized Treatment options - designed around the patient's specific needs using custom selected gene targeted medicaitons based on the identification of the oncogenes involved in their cancer.  Therapy is highly personalized and designed to selectively kill cancer cells by targeting the abnormal genes in the cancer. 
 
Patients' health and well-being are most important to us.
 
Our services include: gene-targeted cancer treatment, oncology consultations, genetic markers testing, oncogene testing, in-house pharmacy for formulary management, nutrition counseling, medication training and patient treatment monitoring.
