Our family has created this page to support my uncle, Deano Libhart, who has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of muscular cancer; stage 2. This type of cancer is large in size and very aggressive. His tumor has invaded the muscle layer of the bladder wall, and he has undergone surgery for a biopsy, with a second surgical procedure and biopsy scheduled soon.

He has already had a procedure to insert a medical port in his chest, and he will soon begin chemotherapy and radiation treatments. The medical team has expressed uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of his treatment plan and can only hope for a positive outcome, which has us all feeling a little unsettled. In the event that the treatments fail, he will need to undergo reconstructive bladder surgery and have a urine bag put in place.

This will have a major impact on his day-to-day life and create many other obstacles for him. The situation is very frightening, and we are all very concerned.

My uncle has insurance coverage, but the accumulating medical bills are already piling up. To alleviate this burden, we are seeking monetary donations to support his medical expenses. All contributions will be directed towards medical costs, treatments, and other expenses that will help his recovery. Most importantly, these donations will provide him with the opportunity to focus on his health without the added stress of financial hardship.

We would appreciate it if you could please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. With my own experience as a four-year cancer survivor, our family has already faced numerous difficulties.

Thank you for reading, sharing, supporting, and contributing in any way you can. Together, we can help my uncle not just fight this but beat it!
