The start of my battle with cancer.  I had Tumors show up on Aug 2014, however was misdiagnosed until Oct 2014 with Stage 4 Cancer (Follicular Lymphoma).  

Nov 2014 had surgery to install a Bioflo Mediport for Chemotherapy.  First 6 Chemo Treatments went from Dec. 2014 thru March 2015.  I also got laid off from work during this time and had a hard time finding another job while going through Chemo.

Everything looked well in April 2015 and appeared the cancer was gone.

I got another job but then on August 2015 I was once again Stage 4 with Follicular Lymphoma (Cancer).  I once again started a different chemotherapy but this time we did 12 Chemo treatments from Sept 2015 thru Feb 2016.  The company I worked for went out of buisness and again hard to find another job while doing Chemotherapy. I also started another job in Oct 2015.

Once again everything seem to be going well and cancer appeared to be gone.  

In August of 2016 I was once again was faced with being Stage 4 with Follicular Lymphoma (Cancer).  The doctors decided the next procedure was going to be a bone marrow transplant.  We started all the tests and doing donor testing.  My daughter was the closest match and we were going to do the bone marrow transplant in Oct 2016.
 I had to leave my job to begin the next medical treatment.  Once again we got hit hard cause the transplant was needing to be pushed due to the fact the cancer grew and was too aggressive to proceed.  We did another 6 chemotherapy treatments from Oct 2016 thru Nov 2017 at Georgetown Hospital.

After the chemotherapy treatments the cancer still grew through the treatments so the Bone Marrow Transplant was canceled until further Notice.

At this point I have done all the different chemotherapy treatments available.  Doctors decided to move to experimental trials Dec 2016.

Test showed the trials was not working and they were discontinued.

Now we are waiting to see if we can get into another experimental procedure gene therapy.  Since the cancer has made it to my bone marrow I am doing one sometimes two blood and platelet transfusions a week since end of Dec 2016.  I am at doctors or hospital 3 times a week min.

This is very hard for me to ask for help however this fight with cancer since Aug 2014 has empty my 401k and savings account.  

When I had to leave my job back in Oct 2016 due to medical treatments,  I applied for Disability but it has not been approved yet and say it will take 6 months to a year before they even give me an answer of yes or no.

I am asking for help due to this fight with cancer that has lasted over 2 yrs and all my funds are gone.  Again this is hard for me to ask for help but I have no where left to turn.
