Help Frank Battle Stage 4 Stomach Cancer
Donation protected
Hi my name is Billie and I'm fundraising for my husband Frank Nation who is battling Stage 4 stomach cancer. Back in August 2022 he noticed a change in his eating and started seeking medical assistance. He went through numerous tests and procedures all with no results. His problem worsened. He then was unable to eat or drink without vomitting. He lost 100lbs in 6 months. Finally in February he got a doctor to listen and hospitalized him. They did a CT Scan and it showed caking on the abdominal wall along with enlarged lymph nodes. They put a feeding tube in and decided to do a exploratory laprascopic surgery on his stomach. The doctor took biopsies of his entire stomach. The test results came back and diagnosed him with adenocarcinoma involving the omentum, peritoneum, with malignant ascites. After the cancer diagnosis they put a port in. He then was scheduled for a PET scan that also confirmed the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes below and above the diaphram and had metassized to some of his bones. The funds would be used for his cancer treatment and any expenses related to his cancer diagnosis. He just finished his 5th round of Folfox. He will get another PET scan after his 6th round to see if the treatment is working. Frank is going to continue to fight as long as he can as we have a 13 year old daughter who needs her dad. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated. Prayers would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God Bless.
