Friends Of George
On A Life Saving Mission
About The Williamson's
Our names are George & Gina Williamson. We have been married for nearly 17 years. When George turned 50 he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. After radical surgery and painful radiation failed to cure his cancer, George opted to take an alternative route using diet and supplementation. His health greatly improved and he has felt better than he has in years. As he puts it, he is a "specimen of health" outside of cancer.
However, his PSA levels did still continue to rise over the next several years.
In 2007 we victoriously enjoyed a Cancer Survivor Day Cruise. George was in his 6th year of survivorship at this point, surprising the doctors that he had made it this far, with no symptoms- and no metastasis. But still that pesky PSA rising...
In spite of uncertainties we have opted to enjoy life to its fullest- because none of us have tomorrow guaranteed, anyway! George just had a birthday- he is now 57.
He also just had some scans done after a pretty substantial PSA jump. For the first time, there is visible metastasis in his hip bone.
Why am I telling you all this??
Because of our belief in following a more natural path toward healing (and because of the lack of any curative options from the medical world), we have determined that George will be treated at an alternative treatment center in California- www.issels.com.
However, because it is alternative, insurance will NOT pay for it, and payment is required up front, in full.
We are not wealthy people- as aren't most people!
Therefore, we have realized that if this is going to be a reality, we need to be CREATIVE.
