HELP: Advanced BCC Cancer Treatment
Donation protected
Hello.This has to be one of the hardest things for me to do, but it is absolutely necessary. I am asking for prayers and financial help. I Have Advanced BCC Skin Cancer. For the last four years I have been going to a Dermatologist for treatment for Advanced BBC (Basal Cell Carcinoma). I had several surgeries (MOHS) to remove the cancer, but it just keeps coming back. October 30,2013, my last surgery, my Dr. told me "If you had waited 2-3 weeks, I would have removed your eye." My Cancer had now invaded internally.
In December 2013, I started the 1st of 33 RADIATION TREATMENTS. Now that I have healed some, the next step is ERIVEDGE, a "CHEMO THEROPY PILL". This "PILL" is extremely expensive, about $10,000 a month and Medicare will cover all but $2614.21 per month. My treatment will range from 8-15 months. I have Skin Cancer all over my body, and because it will spread deeper internally, I need to take this Medicine. The minimum amount I will need is $23,913.68 and that will cover the first 8 months.
For 15 years, I was a truck driver and then after many years of work in home construction and repair, I developed serious back and neck problems. Due to degenerative disk disease, spinal stenosis, and arthritis, I can no longer work and I am on Disability.
Also, I had other types of surgery multiple times in the last 5 years, we have no savings and my family and I lost "our house" because I was unable to work which cause a medically forced bankruptcy in 2009. I am past being ashamed and to the point of desperate. The loss of the ability to work, an overwhelming financial burden, and years of tremendous pain have worn me down. But, in all this, I thank God every day for His love and His Faithfulness and that keeps me going. But now, I need help from my friends and family and those who will pray for me and help me financially. I thank all who participate in my journey. In Our Wounderful LORD and Saviors' name. Amen
