Help with Billy’s surgery!

Many of you may know Billy Robinson, others might not be so lucky! He may get on my nerves 99% of the time , but he needs our help. He has a medical issue that is pretty expensive. He has always been the one to help others, especially the kids in 4H of Callisburg, providing the cattle for them to show and also the feed. Now let’s show him some support in return.

In April of this year Billy was on his way to make a delivery with his semi and pulled over in Clarksville, Texas due to some extreme pain. He ended up having to call an ambulance and be taken to Paris Regional Hospital. After tests it was determined he had kidney stones. Now, we thank God that he did. They told him that he needed to follow up with a urologist, which he did.

The process seemed to take forever. He had to have a referral to even see the urologist. So finally in July they got to see a urologist in Sherman who sent Billy for a CT scan. They were back in his office the next week for the results to find out that he had kidney cancer in his left kidney. He also found out it was in his renal artery. The urologist told them he couldn't do the surgery and was referring him to UT Southwestern.

After many calls he finally got a telehealth appointment. The doctor had the CT scan results and said his tumor was as big as his kidney so he would remove the kidney and that part of the affected renal artery.

The original surgery date was September 17 but has been moved up to August 20.

Billy is doing as well as expected getting this kind of news. He has started having pain, but he’s continuing to try and work for the next few weeks.

He didn't have insurance back in April so they got him on a meta share program not knowing what he was about to be going through. The doctor is out of network and they have to try and come up with A LOT of money. At this time they don't know for sure what's going to happen.

Billy is a hard worker. He doesn't really like asking for help. I don't think anyone does, but right now he needs help.

I know anything given to him will be more than appreciated and when he's back to full health he will be out there helping someone else.

Thank you for your consideration.
