My beloved step-father, Timothy Hofacker, has been through it the last few weeks and unfortunately, this is only the beginning.
In May, Tim noticed a lump on the left side of his face. Long story short, he underwent a left parotidectomy on May 26, 2020 and was subsequently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer (Carcinoma Ex Pleomorphic Adenoma). He is scheduled for a PET and CT scan on June 25, 2020 to see where else the cancer might be in his body. So far, all we know is that he will begin radiation and chemotherapy concurrently immediately after the scans.
Thus far, we have faced roadblocks with insurance (shocker am i right). They have yet to approve the PET scan due to it being "medically unnecessary". We are hopeful that his oncologist can get it pushed through; regardless, he is getting the PET scan no matter the cost (our deductible is $9k).
We have had multiple friends reach out to us offering to start a GoFundMe page to help alleviate the cost of the PET scan, treatment, and the loss of Tim's income that will follow. Please do not feel pressured to donate; your kind words and thoughts are enough.
This has all been very sudden and heart breaking for our family. As our friends and family know, Tim is a very hardworking and family oriented man. Please send us all good juju, love, ooga-booga and prayers.
