My dad was diagnosed with colon cancer in December. In June , after several weeks of chemotherapy and radiation , he had to have surgery to have his colon removed. In July he was taken to the hospital by ambulance and was diagnosed with a severe UTI. From the UTI going untreated for a period of time he wound up with sepsis. He also had a bleeding ulcer which caused him to lose a lot of blood and need several blood transfusions. Thankfully those issues have been cleared up. However , as if that wasn’t enough his kidneys are now not functioning properly. He will be receiving dialysis 2-3 times a week for the next few weeks. Hopefully to restore kidney function. He is currently still in the hospital and has been since July 2nd. My parents are very humble people and do not like to ask for hand outs. However as you can imagine the bills are racking up. On top of the bills already accrued from the radiation and scans ect. before surgery. My mom is currently off of work and has been for the past 4 weeks. However she is due to return next week . In which she needs to do to maintain benefits for her and my dad . We are currently unsure what kind of help or care he will need going forward once leaving the hospital. Any money raised will go towards bills , health benefits ( if my mom takes a LOA and has to pay for benefits out of pocket to take care of my dad ) or home health care. Any little bit will help. Thank you again , and continue to keep my family in your prayers ❤️
