Help Scott pay bills due to cancer
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Scott's sister, Laura. He has recently been diagnosed with cancer. It's adenocarcinoma on the back of his tongue in his throat. Shortly after being diagnosed he had to have a trach put in to protect his airway. The area where the cancer is makes it hard for him to breathe and swallow so he also has a tube which goes into his stomach from his abdomen which he uses to give himself nutrition (g-tube). He can only take sips of water and he has a hard time with swallowing anything without it causing him to cough. He has already had 2 of three rounds of chemotherapy and is in the 5th week of 7 total weeks of daily radiation to his neck and throat areas. He has had to be hospitalized twice and treated multiple times with antibiotics for infections to his trach. He lives in Minnesota about 6hrs away from his family in Wisconsin. We have been able to help some but not be there as much as we would like. He has his own home and lives there alone. He was able to work part time at first but less than that now because of the affects of the treatments. He needs financial help to pay bills, anything you can do will help. Please pass on this information to as many people as possible so we can get the word out. Anyone who knows my brother knows he would help anyone who asked, he has always given and now he needs help back so please find it in yourself to give anything you can. Hopefully he responds well to the treatments and is able to heal from this. He is not able to speak very easily without coughing but if you know him (or even if you don't) please send him an encouraging message just to let him know that we are all praying that he is able to beat this ugly cancer. Thank you to everyone who is, has or will help him financially or spirituality. Sometimes one message or gesture can make all the difference.
