Terminal illness and emergency surgery
Donation protected
Hi my name is Patty Lucio and I am reaching out to friends, family and others to let you know of my husband
Frank's medical emergency story. On November 24,2021 we rushed Frank to Enloe Hospital at which time he had to have emergency intestinal/hernia surgery due to a bowel blockage. After a CT scan it showed Frank had a mass on his right kidney, a mass on his right Adrenal Gland, a lesion on his spine and spots in his right lung. After 4 days at Enloe Hospital Frank came home to heal. Unfortuneately, we got some sad news on December 15, 2021, at Enloe Cancer Center when his doctor told us Frank has stage 4 metastatic kidney cancer. Frank is resting at home before he starts treatment in early January.Frank will not need any other surgery currently but the infusion treatment will be rough on Frank and expensive. We have had medical bills coming in already and there are many costs regarding treatment that will not be covered by insurance. We are doing what we can to help make Frank comfortable in this difficult time.Frank's medical condition of stage 4 metastatic kidney cancer is extremely serious and any help financially is urgent and will be very much appreciated.
