SEPTEMBER IS CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH!


Check out the cute little face second row seventh one in!



Hello All

Ben wants to remind you all the September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Less than 3.5% of Federal money approved for Cancer research is spent on all childhood cancers combined!! Some cancers like Ben's have had no significant developments in treatment in the last 30 years, with a cure rate of less than 10 % - That is unacceptable!!! Speak Up! Let your state representatives know that more money and more resources need to be allocated to CURE CHILDHOOD CANCER! Let the drug companies know we expect more out of them...how much R&D money was spent on "the little blue pill"??? Lets get our priorities straight people!

Visit TEAM UNITE by clicking on the picture of Ben with his favorite pirate Captain Jack in the top left corner of this page. Team Unite is a collection of families working together to spread awareness and fight childhood cancer!!!

Love to all

The Sarrat Family

Thanks for the stats on the treatment and recovery Erin. I had no idea. It is really absurd. I posted the awareness site to my facebook page and sent out emails.
Say hi to Ben from me & Adam. We liked his new school pictures! You stay in our prayers. Erin & Adam.

I have been following this website for more than 2 years now, admin kindly post and share this to give other brain tumor patients hope that they can get a cure.

Three years ago I was diagnosed with GBM after a CAT scan. I went through neurosurgery, radiation, and 14 months of chemo treatments but the symptoms all remained and even doubled, the constant thundering headache, seizures was twice than it was before, i could no longer think straight and i had constant mood swing and trouble speaking i was almost feeling at the gate of hell because these symptoms were unbearable. I am retired but very active spending my time to make the world a better place. I retired from a career in law and non-profit administration, and judging from how active i was this new life was not working and i was patiently waiting for when i will give up the ghost. My husband never accepted the fact that he will lose me to the cold hands of death which was what made him to seek other treatment options and that was how he came across "elixir" a herbal medicine treatment which i took for 12 weeks and it gave me a second chance in life, gave me a new life and totally cured me of my cancer. My neurologist had told me before then while i was at the hospital that i had less than 4 months with the rate at which the tumor was growing and expanding. I am happy today because i am completely free of cancer because i have ran several tests and diagnosis because i am still in shock on the efficacy of elixir. Never give up hope or rely only on chemo or other surgical treatments because herbs work too, i never believed until now that i have experienced it. You can contact doctor Rahul personally for advise, counselling and how to get elixir on drghandiherbs@gmail.com I am grateful for every day that I am still alive and well.
