Antonio's Clash with Cancer

Hi my name is Rose. I'm asking your help with my brother in love, Antonio Garner.

Routine Surgery. We do this every day. Nothing to worry about. Just minor surgery, you will be fine....

Every person that has undergone surgery has heard these words or similar comforting andedots. For Antonio, those words harbored a medical secret, an outcome never expected, never imagined. Just as leaves change and fall in autumn, the words came down hard. One day strong, working husband, father, brother, friend, and chuch steward. Now feeling helpless, weak, vulnerable, human statistic. As Antonio tried to shake those words "we need to ta lk", he felt like a alien from another world searching for something to grasp, a time before hearing those words. What did it all mean, "a mass"? What has entered my skull and how? Before being able to concentrate on the words, the doctor continued., "let's make a plan-of-attack it before it can attack you". Simultaneous treatmnts of chemo and radiation to shrink this mass an prevent more invasive surgery. Never any thoughts to cost, insurance nor who will pay for this. Everything has happened so fast. As Antonio left the office confusion, wonder, doubt, fear, and determination took over his every move. Feeling like a school boy looking for lunch money, Antonio reached in his pocket. At once the realization that money or lack of could bring him down. Now the big question, how will I pay for all of this? Is there enough insurance coverage? The answer came quickly over phone, NO! Antonio is reaching out to family, friends, and supporters for help. Your kindness and generosity will help pay for the costly cancer treatments, transportation, and hospitalization which he must endure for an undetermined period of time. Currently, we don't know how much longer Antonio will be able to work or if he will be able to return to any type work at all. Antonio's wife and daughter will struggle to cover basic expenses much less medical treatment. Antonio worked for numerous years for Mens Wearhouse, suiting the most well dressed men in the area. Throughout his life, his love and caring of others, always there with life advise or fashion; selflessly given of his time and monetary gifts. He is currently employed with Montgomery County School system..Antonio sends his love and prayers to all, thankful for helping save his life. I am truly grateful for every act of kindness. Donations are greatly appreciated. Prayers are needed.
