Mark and Kelly's Medical Fund and added expenses

As some of you know, on November 2nd Mark received news that no one wants to hear. You have CANCER! This is tough to hear at anytime but at the holidays and during hunting season it has a major impact on Mark, Kelly and Hunter.

Mark will have chemo for every 2 weeks for the next 6 months with PET scans after each set of 4 treatments. If he is responds well to the treatment, they timeframe for chemo could be shortened to 2 or 4 months but we know for sure 6 months will be the maximum.

After his initial PET scan. it was determined Mark has Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Spots were found in his abdomen, throat area, chest, groin and a warm spot lesion on his hip. This does not change the course of treatment or prognosis.

During Mark's chemo treatment he is unable to take his medication for his Rheumatoid Arthritis which if very painful. He is unable to hunt due to the pain and Mark is the sole provided of the meat they use for the entire year.

This has put a financial strain on Mark and Kelly due to the additional cost of food, travel too and from doctors appointment, planning for Hunter and loss of income. Anything will help. We are just looking to help relieve some stress for Mark, Kelly, and Hunter.
