However, the family’s happiness was fleeting. Mitch was informed last month that the tumor had reappeared.
Doctors told the family there “was nothing more they could do” and suggested palliative treatment to prolong his life, according to Jessie’s statement on December 2.
Never one to lose up, Mitch sought out a private doctor in London and discovered a state-of-the-art therapy that may help, although at a £475,000 cost.
To gather money for the therapy, the family started a GoFundMe page, and as of Sunday morning, they had raised £190,385 in contributions.
Mitch said, “I really don’t want to die before my 29th birthday,” on the GoFundMe page. “The only option for me is either get lucky with a clinical trial or private treatment.”
