Support Lawrence McNeil's Family in Their Time of Need

Hello, I am here to start a Go fund me for My uncle. Here is his journey below.

My Journey with Colon Cancer

My name is Lawrence V McNeil Jr. I am 59 years old.

I am happily married to my beautiful wife for 26 years, raising 5 beautiful grandchildren ages 12, 11, 8, 7, and 1.

And also have 2 grown children Roman 35, Aneya 32. Trying to maintain a living, I was

diagnosed in 2010 with stage 3b Colon Cancer to which I’m currently in hospice. I was being treated at UC Health

Anschutz Cancer Center in Aurora, Colorado. After this news my life was totally changed in an instant! I

had no idea that what I was going to experience and try and live through would become the most

difficult experience that I could ever imagine.

When this started, I had had my colon resected in 2011. A serious surgery procedure performed on

colon cancer patients along with chemo and radiation. Surgery was performed the day after I was

diagnosed, a chemo port was the first procedure, I then was offered an opportunity to go to the Cancer

Centers of America to which we left for Philadelphia to start their treatment program after I started at

Anschutz. I then adopted shared Oncology treatments and care between the two hospitals. Shortly after

my resection and recovery, I went into remission in 2013 for a short period of time. Since 2013 to

current, I have periodic colon balloon dilations due to side effects from former radiation treatments.

This is a procedure performed to help with intestinal shrinking. So, after a short remission break in 2014

the cancer was back, but now had started metastasizing to my liver. I then experienced a blood clot due

to my chemo port which meant I had to go back into surgery to remove and replace the port. After this, I

had a liver resection surgery to have 60% of my liver removed.

I went to Cancer Treatment Center of America in Philadelphia for 1 year back and forth still having to go

back to Anschutz Center intermittently. After treatment there I went into another short remission in

2016.

Now in 2017 cancer was back again.

Currently received news from my oncologist that 20% of my liver is functioning. He gave me 2 to 7 weeks of survival. The fund would help with funeral costs and help my wife and grandkids with monthly bills. I used all my savings for treatments. God Bless you all. And thank you in advance!
