Colorectal Cancer
Donation protected
I'm a 58 year old with a wife, 4 daughters, and 5 grandchildren.
Recently I've been diagnosed with stage 2 colorectal cancer.
In December I traveled to Brazil, through Mexico, for Christmas. There I picked up an intestinal bacteria and on the return trip a flu virus. After fighting off the flu, I turned my attention to the bacteria and diarrhea. The local clinic gave me two antibiotics and I believe one gave me a rectal tumor.
Subsequent colonoscopy, biopsy, and CT scans confirm the tumor blocking my bowel is cancerous.
What started as travellers diarrhea has now degraded into cancer 5 months later.
I cant sleep more than 2 hours a night, run to the bathroom 30-40x a day, and am on a liquid diet.
Healthcare Insurance is a joke. When I signed up they said they cover things like this. Turns out they won't cover any of it. So far all of it was paid out of savings. Not able to work, my savings are depleted.
If I cannot get some assistance, no doctor will see me and we will be homeless before the 4th of July.
Please help me get through this, recover, get back to work, and save our family home.
