Story
Dana M Bellanfonte
A valued member of the community a former Civil Servant, Teacher, her last active role was Mentor and Key Worker for an organisation assisting homeless young persons.
Dana is currently battling Lung Cancer (stage 4) and has been told by her NHS Doctors that they can now only offer her Palliative care. There is a treatment available privately in Spain/Germany at a cost of £27,000 , the initial consultation has taken place.
www.immucura.com (for more detail)
“Targeted Cancer Therapy by Dendritic Cell Vaccine”
A bit more detail on what they do....
“What we do is take 200ml of blood which then gets couriered to our lab in Germany.
They then mature the monocytes into Dendritic Cells and the way that is done is by taking the patients cancer signature, which is in the blood plasma and literally feed it to the Dendritic Cells. They then absorb that information which then becomes their sole purpose in life, to kill the cancer cells through the immune system.
The serum/vaccine is put back into the lymph system around 9 days later. The Dendritic Cells will stay there for up to 9 months and they will instruct the natural killer cells, (NK) or T-Lymphocyte Cells, that pass through the immune system what to look for and what to kill.”
We would also like Dana to visit her Parents whom she has not seen for a number of years, they live in Jamaica Mum is 90 years young and Dad is 85 years young, they are devastated at the news they were given earlier this week. Dana is their only daughter. A round trip would cost £3,500 with medical insurance.

4 years agoDear All, it is with great sadness that I have to complete this post, Dana has lost her battle with Cancer before she received the treatment that we fought so hard to get for her. Immucura - the company providing the treatment had been paid in full and all the arrangements had been made before Dana's passing (£29,500) I have been in touch with them with a view to refunding the monies paid, which may only be 70% initially. I am awaiting their response but will keep you updated with any communication I receive.
