Chris's Cancer Fund

Donation protected
As many of you know, earlier this year I was diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma cancer.  This has been a difficult time for me, so far the cancer has caused permanant nerve damage in my right leg to the point that I cannot move my foot so I must wear a brace on my foot and lower leg to control the foot drop.  Treatment has been doing its share of damage as well,  I have developed osteonecrosis which is dead bone in my mouth and had to have one surgery so far on it and if it continues to not heal properly I may have to have a portion of my lower jaw removed and a metal plate put in its place.  With all of this going on I have not been able to return to work, and with the nerve damage I may not be able to, at least not in the same capacity that I have.  This being said, we have fallen on finacial hardships and while insurance may be taking care of alot of my medical expenses we are finding it difficult to make our house payment, which has gone up, along with our other bills which includes our insurance premiums.  To make matters worse, my wife Cindy has had to have two surgeries on her foot so that she is unable to work as well.  During this time we have been forced to make several repairs to our vehicle so that we both can go to our numerous doctor appointments.  I really hate asking like this but any assistance would be greatly appreciated, and if you could share this fund with your friends also, that too would be appreciated.
