Good Samaritan needs some help

Donation protected

John Armstrong  a big guy, with a big heart.  Unfortunately that heart does not work so good.  During a recent CT scan of his upper body, they found multiple lesions on his lungs & liver.  To confirm the diagnosis they ran a PET scan (shoulder to knees).  The doctors came back and said to forget the lung lesions, we need to focus on the newly discovered large colorectal mass.  So they started to plan surgery.  During a pre-op Xray, they determined the lesions had grown in just a few short weeks.  Another CT Scan was performed and confirmed the lesion growth.  With such rapid growth, John was no longer a candidate for surgery.  They would start chemo right away.

John has stage 4, metastatic cancer impacting his lungs, liver, and colorectal area.  Due to John's existing medical issues, it is currently inoperable.  The cancer, in it's current state is not curable, but it is treatable.  They will begin chemotherapy treatments Nov 7th, 2016 in an effort to restrict/arrest the growth of the cancer.

John, being the timid soft spoken shy guy that he is (NOT!) is headed into this pretty ticked off, as well as concerned.  Concerned primarily for his lovely bride Bonnie!

Their medical coverage changed on November 1st, 2016.  John is so happy that Obamacare is covering it ALL - NOT!

This fund will go toward covering some of his treatment & other medical costs.
Any support will be much appreciated by his three grand children and his best friend and Cocker Spaniel mix Louie!

All of this medical stuff is just a distraction from John focusing on others - calling those missing from church, checking in on friends that have been ill or down.  He's still working the phones and taking people out for a encouraging meal.
