In July 2018, Homer Bornt was diagnosed with metastatic squamous cell cancer originating from a skin lesion on his hand that was completely excised in 2015. This occurs in less than 5% of squamous cell skin cancers and there is no developed protocol for treating it. It is inoperable. He has failed 7 weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. He has started immunotherapy “Libtayo” which has shown improvement in 40% of the patients who have received it in a recent study. He receives the treatment infusion every 3 weeks.  After 6 months of treatment he will have repeat studies done to determine the effectiveness of the immunotherapy.The anticipated out of pocket cost of the medication is $5000 per treatment.
The Bornts are such a big part of our community. Cindy has spent her life healing others.  We now have an opportunity to return the favor.
