Bob's Fight: Kidney Cancer and More

Hi, I'm Bob Hatfield. I live in Upsala MN with my wife and pets. On 8/23/22 they found a large tumor on my left Kidney and on 9/29/22 I had surgery and lost my left Kidney to Cancer. I am stage 3 with the cancer. I started treatment a week after Thanksgiving of 2022. 4 months after my surgery I had a CT scan and they found another smaller tumor on my right and only Kidney. A month or so later I had that taken off by Ablation, they freeze it. I also have many other medical issues. The Keytruda treatment has been causing some side affects that have sent me to the ER a number of times. Right now I have been dealing with Colitis that is caused by the treatment. Some other things I need done is a total right shoulder and total right knee.

I never thought I would ever have to ask for help like this. Both my wife and I work part time job and get social security. Although lately I have been missing a lot of work do to being sick. The stress of all these bill coming in with no idea how we can keep up. I thank you for taking the time to read my story. Any contribution would be appreciated. Thoughts and prayers are welcome Too. Thank you! God Bless
