In December 2023, my father Eamon was diagnosed with cancer in his lymph node. Could anything prepare us for this news? Certainly not, but we bravely started the uphill battle, with him undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the start of 2024. Our resolve seemed to pay off when the treatments proved successful. However, the joy was short-lived. By summer 2024, another devastating discovery - cancer had found its way to his liver. That August, he underwent a successful operation to remove it, providing a brief moment of relief.

Unpredictable as life is, on the 25th of February 2025, my dad received results of a PET scan, this showed cancer in 10 different places - his liver, lymph nodes, and bones. Despite this disheartening prognosis from his doctors that this is incurable, we remember that no doesn't always equate to the end. We hold onto hope as a compass guiding us through this challenging journey.

In seeking alternative means of healing, my dad has started holistic treatments with Live 5D Health in Boyle, Roscommon. Paired with adopting nurtured eating habits and nutrient supplements, he presses on resiliently. He will also be doing some immunotherapy treatments in the hospital. His determination inspires us, which is why this donation page exists - to cover the costs of these treatments.

My dad is not just a patient; he's a community builder, a beacon of positivity. Since 2011, he's been the heart of an incredible djembe drumming and meditation circle, serving as a provider of healing for others through his resounding beats. Throughout his treatment, he never paused this drumming, staying the course for those in his circle. The Drumming & Meditation circles are based in Galway and these will also be fundraisers to go towards his treatments. 'Community Spirit Drumming' can be found on Instagram and Facebook to find the details of the next circle, everyone is welcome!

So, now, it's our turn to become his circle of support. It's time for us, his community, to give back and help him as he has helped numerous others. We kindly ask for your donations through iDonate, which will go directly to Eamon's treatment costs. Let's beat this drum in unison, creating a melody of hope, strength, and healing. Blessings for your support. Alisha.
