Bruce Wayne Stueve Cancer Treatment

My father Bruce Wayne Stueve is the type of hero that every little girl deserves to call dad. He’s worked his entire life to provide for his family and done the absolute best job that he could. As a child I remember him, an oak. Standing strong and tall with laughter that boomed through the house. Leukemia hit him first. At 36 years old he battled a cancer that gave him only a five percent chance at survival. He won. It was a long hard recovery. But he was able to walk me and my sister down the aisle and dance with my brother’s bride. He’s met and loved all eleven of his grandchildren. At 57 cancer took his kidney. He pushed through and went on working and laughing and loving his wife and family. He retired early at 62 believing that the worst was behind him and he could live out his days in his quite country home with his wife, watching his family continue to grow as grandchildren had children of their own. Now, at 64, cancer is at it again and waging the worst war as of yet. He doesn’t qualify for Medicare for six months. He has no insurance. What little savings they had is almost gone and bills are piling higher than ever.

Bruce began working in the late sixties on a paper route, saving his hard earned money for a new bike. As a young husband and father he worked at a tire shop. Then on to North Star Steel for twenty five years. After his first bout with cancer he had a bit of a midlife crisis and became a truck driver. His life is that of so many men’s, giving their backs and bodies, hours and youth to their families. He did all with his beautiful smile and hearty laugh, never asking for anything in return. Please give if you can. If you can’t give, please send a prayer to your god for his health and wellness.
