Hey y'all, I'm reaching out asking for help for my uncle Mike Stone. Nov 16 Mike was rushed to the hospital after trembling with pain while hunting one afternoon. While in Georgetown ER, an MRI was done and they found cancer (3 masses(tumors) on liver and 2 in stomach) and was placed in ICU. Nov 18 biopsy was done to take a piece of the mass to study. The 19th he was released, sent home with pain meds. Over that weekend he was very swollen and still not eating. He kept saying he was full and hasn't ate in days. He developed blisters on feet and ankles and the back of his legs because he could not get up and move around. It hurt to lay so he sat upright in his chair the entire time. Nov 21 he went back to Georgtown and was transferred to UK, where the Dr seen infection on the MRI scans from gtown. UK done surgery to remove over a liter of infection because it had caused sepsis, a huge mass was leaking and dead piece of bowel needed to be removed, they cut him open to drain infection, tried to remove big mass but Mike started to bleed and blood pressure dropped so they stopped, left incision open 4 days. The second surgery when his BP and heart rate was stable they put together his intestine, removed gallbladder and removed one mass in stomach. They had to shock his heart because heart rate started to drop and go out of rhythm. Now he's just in pain and swollen back up again. My Aunt is having a hard time going back forth between the hospital and home, he was the sole provider for them and with him not working in almost a month, bills and food should not be her main worry right now. Hospital food is expensive and she simply can not afford to eat there. She doesn't drive so she can't leave the hospital whenever to go home and get food. Having to get rides back and forth and to get food and drinks is really taken a toll of their finances. I'm asking if you can, please donate anything so they can pay for food, bills and gas. We would greatly appreciate it :) 12.1 he was supposed to be released but they decided to keep him and bring in an oncologist. He's got some test to do and if he passes then he will be going to a rehabilitation, hopefully cardinal hill, for 2 weeks then home if all goes well. Dr apt Jan 3 to get full details because too many doctors giving too many different answers. The Dr today said his cancer is rare and there's a lot of unknowns about it. Please continue to pray
