Don's cancer treatment.
Donation protected
Family, friends, friends of family, friends of friends - it's time to officially ask for help. I have been battling a very rare cancer - adrenal cortical - for the last 2 years. Some of you have helped already, without me asking, for which I am very, very grateful. Lots of you don't even know about it, as it isn't something I've wanted to put out there on fb or bother people with if I didn't have to.
Most people know what cancer is about, and how the cure is often worse than the sickness itself, so I'm not going into all that. Suffice it to say that I have been through the chemo, a couple of experimental things (there is no approved treatment for this cancer yet), and am currently getting immunotherapy every 3 weeks. After 2 years of this stuff the prognosis hasn't changed and tumors are a little larger. I may have months left, maybe a couple years. But stopping treatment right now would probably take that to weeks.
My wife and I are on a fixed income, and can barely keep up with the cost of my medications and scans and office visits. Savings and help from family have helped pay off the early chemo. The big bill involves the Keytruda infusions I receive every 3 weeks (immunotherapy), and I need to pay a chunk of it to keep the treatments coming. That's what this GoFundMe is about. Whatever I receive goes straight to that.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
