Join Jason Hawk's Battle for Recovery

My husband, Jason Hawk, was taken by ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Fort Smith, AR on 7/2/24 for dehydration and dizziness. He had been sick for weeks and had lost about 20lbs from vomiting. There was a bad stomach bug going around that the rest of the family got sick from, so we figured that was what was wrong with him.

When Jason arrived at the hospital, he was complaining of stomach pain, so the hospital did a CT scan. The scan revealed that his cancer had possibly returned with suspicious tissue on his lungs and in his abdomen. They did a biopsy on the lungs on 7/5/24 and we will know the results by Monday or so. The scar tissue and tumor mass had encased and blocked his lower intestine. They were able to surgically bypass the blockage. We are hoping Jason can start eating again soon and regain his strength. If he can regain his strength then he will have a fighting chance at recovery.

Unfortunately, we are between health insurance providers, so all of the hospital expenses are out of pocket.
