My dad John Cianfarani, was brought to the hospital on March 8th, with what they thought was a stroke. It turned out to be a cancerous brain tumor that was causing him to lose all use of his left side. It is stage 4.  It started in his lungs and the tumor there is too close to his heart to do anything other than chemo and radiation. They removed the biggest tumor on his brain, but were not able to get the deeper smaller one. He has started chemotherapy to try to shrink whats left so it can be zapped with radiation.  My dad has no insurance, and although he is getting stronger,  with the condition he is in right now, he is unable to tattoo, which is how he gets his income to pay bills, and put food on the table.   I am trying my hardest to get him any help I can, but unfortunately, every thing takes a REALLY long time.  Meanwhile, the medication alone costs a fortune, not to mention doctors visits, and chemo.  My dad has never been the kind of guy to ask for help, or accept things from people, but would be the first to offer any thing he had even if it was his last.  I am begging for everyone of his friends, family, acquaintances, to please donate any amount of money they can.  At this point any little thing would help so much.   He is very loved by his family and friends, and we want him to be around for as long as he possibly can!  Thank you so much for your support!
