Fighting Cancer & Out of Work Since 3/13
Donation protected
Hello Everyone,
Most of you visiting already know me and my story; but for those of you that don't, here it goes: I was diagnosed with B.X.O. in December of 2011 and have had issues since then. B.X.O. is is a dermatological (skin) condition affecting the male genitalia. In November of 2012 I started having issues again in the same area. After several ER visits I was finally told that I need to have a biopsy. I got a biopsy in May of this year (2013). The test results came back stating that I had Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma. I have been to several doctors and it has came to the point that my doctor told me that I either have a partial penectomy to remove the tumor. After I have healed from that surgery they will be doing a second procedure to remove my lymph nodes and putting tubes in my legs to allow for drainage. I have not been able to work since March of this year because of the pain and discomfort in the area. Unfortunately my bills have just been pilling up. It has been a very, very rough road for me. I appreciate and welcome all your thoughts and prayers, as well as positive energy. It's tough for me to accept the fact that I have a very deadly cancer, but each and every one of you know that I don't take NO for an answer nor do I give up. I become a true fighter because I have no other choice. I will be fighting this with all of my energy and strength. As hard as it is for to ask for help I am also asking for your help with with my medical bills as well as my normal bills such as rent and power. If you can help out in any way it would be greatly appreciated. I've applied for disability, but its not guaranteed and it takes up too six months to get approved. My friends suggested that I give this a try to help cover my basic bills, so I am hoping that you all can help even if just a little. I appreciate your consideration and contributions. Any money gathered here will be used strictly for medical/pharmacy bills/expenses and (as an absolute worst case scenario) my final expenses.
