Scott's Cancer Treatment
Donation protected
Hi everyone. My name is Pam Kellogg and my husband's name is Scott Kellogg. We've been married for 28 years. Scott is an auto mechanic at a Ford Dealership and I'm a needlework designer and publisher of a small needlework magazine.
Scott has recently be diagnosed with a type of cancer. It's treatable and has a 85% success rate of being curable. He will be getting chemo and radiation treatments.
Unfortunately, due to another recent surgery back in December of 2015, we are out of money. We're still paying for that surgery. Now, we're looking at loss of pay, medical expenses, travel expenses and despite having good insurance, we probably have a to pay another outrageous deductible come the new year.
Although Scott plans to try to continue to work through this, I know he will be limited. I certainly will be working as much as I can but my income won't cover our regular bills much less the treatment expenses.
Scott's treatment will be starting immediately. He's already lost some time at work due to Dr. appointments so I need some help right away.
I personally expect a full recovery for him. He's very resilient and has a good attitude.
It pains me to have to swallow my pride and ask my family and friends for monetary assistance. I've always enjoyed giving and helping others. I've always believed in working for what we need. But I guess the time has come where I have to ask for some help.
It's hard enough to deal with cancer but to have to worry about money too, it's just too much.
I will be so thankful when the cancer is gone and we can get back to living. In the meantime, I will be very grateful to have some help so that we don't have to worry about our financial situation during the healing process.
Thank you,
Pam
