Ongoing medical costs for Bruce Neece

Hi everyone,

I’m here to raise some money to help my family with ongoing medical costs related to my dad’s health.

In February 2024, after some concerning symptoms, my dad had a scan that located a pancreatic tumor consistent with pancreatic cancer. The tumor is braided with two main arteries in the abdomen, making his medical care precarious and difficult.

After an initial biopsy, he quickly developed sepsis and pancreatitis and was hospitalized for 9 days. He was placed on a feeding tube. Those medical bills are already nearing $10,000 out of pocket.

Upon his release, we traveled to Mayo Clinic to seek a second opinion, which is where I’m writing this. He had a second biopsy which triggered an additional bout of pancreatitis. He is being admitted via the emergency department now.

He has had dozens of appointments, blood draws, scans, and testing. We have traveled hundreds of miles over the last month attempting to get him the best care possible.

This fundraiser would directly benefit his medical costs, transportation, lodging, as well as boarding for pets.

If you know me, you know my dad. For his entire life he has showed up in huge ways for his family, job, community - even strangers he meets in his day to day. It is truly awful to see him this way.

We humbly thank you for your ongoing prayers and love. I will update when possible.
