Hello family and friends, my name is Tina and I am starting a GoFundMe fundraiser for my brother-in-law Johnny, who was recently diagnosed with rectal colon cancer.

Johnny has not been feeling well since Christmas Day, and in May, he had a colonoscopy that showed the tumor in his rectum. Since then, it took two more months before chemotherapy was started. In August, he was having some difficulty and ended up in the emergency department where they did lab work and a CT scan that showed that the cancer has metastasized to his liver. He has received 3 rounds of IV chemotherapy and is also taking chemo pills and medication for nausea and for pain. He is considered to be in Stage 4 with his cancer and is given a 5-8% chance of surviving this.

Johnny and his wife Jeannette have decided to get a second opinion and have decided to get treatment in Arizona. This is going to require him to stay in Arizona for three months of treatment. He will not be able to work during this time. He is the sole family provider. The treatments and tests are adding up financially. He cannot do this without much spiritual, emotional, and financial support.

Johnny is 52 years old. He and my sister Jeannette have four children, ages 16, 14, 11, and 8. He is a full-time truck driver and takes good care of his family. We would greatly appreciate any support you can give to help him and his family. Thank you so much in advance.
