Medical Expenses

I'm starting this page for Vince McAndrew. He has been out of work for 3 months at this point. It all started with what he thought was constipation. He went to a Dr who agreed he was constipated. 1 week later he went into the emergency room still really unwell. 9 hours later he was told his appendix has burst causing a 12 inch abscess in his stomach. His white blood cell count was nearly 30 and all doctors were amazed they were even talking to him at this point. He was immediately out on antibiotics and went in for surgery to have a cyst drain put in for 2 weeks. He was than cleared for removal. He was told to get a colonoscopy to see if any other damage is done following the removal of the bag. So he did. Yesterday September 7th he was told there was a tumor pressing up against his appendix that caused the appendix to burst. We are waiting on test results as of now. We have an upcoming appointment with the surgeon to discuss the removal of the appendix and tumor and to see if cancer drs needs to be brought in. This money will greatly help out with all the past and upcoming hospital bills. You have no idea how much this will relieve some stress off of dad and he gives big hugs to all that care! Update Sept 12th 2023: We just got the results back and the tumor is in fact cancerous. So now we are waiting for the consultation Thursday with the surgeon and will update once we know his game plan.
