Amit is married and has three small children. During his military service, after long days of stress and sleep deprivation, he began to feel unwell. Amit thought it was symptoms related to the strain of the war, but the military doctor insisted on sending Amit to tests.
Amit underwent an MRI and biopsy, as well as a genetic sequencing test, where it was revealed that a large, widespread cancerous tumor had developed in his head. The cancer was diagnosed as glioblastoma, but due to its size and location, was deemed inoperable.
Amit began receiving a combined experimental treatment that stabilized his condition and stopped the tumor, but as the tumor is significant in size, his doctors recommend special treatment in Seagate, Germany.
The treatment in Germany has proven to be life-saving in his condition. The treatment includes the development and administration of a vaccine customized to the genetic changes in Amit's tumor.
Its estimated cost, including travel and accommodation, is approximately 100,000 euros. Any additional tests there that may be required are expensive private costs.
