Cancer Fund - Help With Bills
Donation protected
I’ve recently been diagnosed with Esophogeal and Stomach Cancer with METS to the liver.
***I update every single day when I can.***
Tests, pre-ops, follow ups, co-pays and medications have taken nearly everything I have. I have not been to work since November 5th and unfortunately my short term disability will still take a while to come through. All our normal bills, including rent, are coming up. I hate asking for help, but if there’s ever a time myself and Victoria could use it, it’s definitely now.
Any amount will help. I’ve had to spend over $400 this past week alone for appointments, gas and medicine and would not have made it had it not been from the generous support of my dad and step mom.
I only have enough money left for one more co-pay for a pre-op appointment on Friday for a second liver biopsy next Wednesday. I haven’t been eating much and have lost nearly 20 lbs due to the cost of appointments and loss of appetite (not many choices). I will be missing Thanksgiving dinner with family due to an upper/lower colonoscopy & endoscopy the day before followed by a clear liquid/restricted diet for 24-48 hours after.
I have so much coming up; Upper/Lower Colonoscopy & Endoscopy, 2nd Liver Biopsy, PET Scan, multiple ultrasounds, possible surgery (we’ll know after the Colonoscopy) and the beginning of chemotherapy which is slated to start early December. I’m hoping that the 60% Short Term Disability is approved and in my account by mid month, but appointments and rent are all due next week.
This site charges for donations. I do have other ways to accept donations and help. Just send a message and I’ll try my best to respond when I can.
Thank you to everyone who has already helped, those that are helping now and to those who can help in the near future! This isn’t easy, especially after having two major lung surgeries.
