as many of may already know. on Sept 2nd our lives were turned upside down. Lisa was diagnosed with cancer. The Oncologist diagnosed it as Kidney cancer and that she had a very large mass. The doctor said it needs to be removed as soon as possible. On Sept 22nd Lisa went into surgury to remove the 3 pound mass. During to procedure we almost lost her. She spent the next day on life support, then slowly started her road to recovery. They sent the mass to the Pathology lab, a few weeks later, we received news that she actually had Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. A type of blood cancer.
Pet scans of her body showed that it had spread throughout her body and the cancer specialist said it was stage 4. Though that cancer specialist feels very optimistic to be able to cure her with chemo, it still has been a stuggle.
Having 3 extended stays at the hospital, several doctor visits, several set backs, a home care nurse, the costs of medications, Lisa not being able to work, me working only part time to care for her and insurance not paying for everything. Our expenses have become unbareable.
I'm not one to ask for help, but I've come to a realization that we need it. I'm putting my ego aside and asking for any help to help us cover these large medical expenses.
any help would be much appreciated.
Cancer is a horrible disease that nobody should have to go through.
thanks in advance if you help our cause.
