My name is Amanda and I am trying to raise money for my father, who has cancer. My father is an amazing person, he has a great personality, (he’s a big goof ball) everyone who knows him loves him. This is a very hard time for my family and I. He is a Uncle, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, and Husband. I am trying to raise money to help my family pay for gas money tolls, and medical bills that have to be paid

Long story short, he went to his doctor and they told him he had a bad UTI. He took antibiotics for almost a month, but he still had the same problem. So, he went to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, Mainland Division, where they told him he had a bad UTI and prescribed him antibiotics as well. Ten days later, he had to go back because he was in excruciating pain (I've never seen my dad like that ever). They took blood, did an ultrasound, and did a CT scan. After waiting for the results to come back, the doctor came in and we received the bad news that my dad was having all that pain in his back because he was having renal failure. His kidneys were only working 50%, and he had cancer. (He had prostate cancer a few years ago and had his prostate removed.) He had a regrowth where his prostate used to be, and it metastasized. They gave him several different medications to take the pain away, but nothing was working. They admitted him and put nephrostomy tubes in his kidneys to bypass the bladder. The next day, they sent him home. About 2-3 weeks later, his tube got caught and ripped out. This time, I took him to Shore Memorial Hospital. They put a new nephrostomy tube in and sent him home because they said there was nothing else they could do for him. He just recently had an MRI, bloodwork, and a PET scan done to see where else he has cancer. It's in his muscle, lymph node, hip bone, bladder, and prostate.
He also has a aneurism in his Aorta that is at 5.8 that need to to fixed and he has 2 more in both sides of his groin, he also has a blockage in in lower left leg. He had his right leg done.
We still don't know grin the doctors are going to do for him yet, or what his options are. My dad is a very hardworking man, but due to him being sick, he is unable to work. He has to travel back and forth to Philadelphia for his tests and appointments. Any donations are greatly appreciated; nothing is too little. Even if you can just share this if you don't have it to donate.
