Adam's Cancer Apocalypse
Donation protected
Adam's journey began on 1/31/19 when Adams wife (Amanda) received a call from his work that he wasn't feeling well with significant abdominal pain and should go get checked out. In the ER he had a CT scan which showed changes in the colon and liver. Adam was hospitalized from 1/31-2/2. During his hospital stay he had a colonoscopy and upper GI endoscopy with biopsies done. On 2/5/19 they received a phone call with the final pathology report stating Adam had colon cancer with liver mets. On 4/23/19 Adam had to have an emergency surgery due to blockage in his colon from the tumor that resulted in him having to have a colostomy done. Adam's Oncologist came up with a plan to remove the tumor and reverse the colostomy to give him a better quality of life. This was done on 6/26/19 with great success. Adam has gone through 3 different types of traditional chemotherapy infusions with little success. He has also done two different oral chemotherapy treatments at home. His cancer grown on his liver and has since metastasis to his lungs and spleen and has had a few pulmonary embolisms Adam had to leave his Job shortly after his diagnoses with 2 kids the financial strain Adam and his wife Amanda have had to endure is a type of stress I hope no one else would ever have to go through. I'm Starting this gofundme to help in anyway to lessen some of that burden for their young family. Please any help would be greatly apricated.
