Help Tracy Tackle Lung Cancer

Hello, my name is Brittany Tumey, I am one of the 3 daughters of Tracy Tumey, whom this story is about. He is a loving husband, father, papa, brother, and friend to many people. Tracy has a loving wife of 38 years, Karen Tumey. He has three beautiful daughters, Chrystal Jenkins (40), Brittany Tumey (30), Sierra Palmer (23). He is a god loving, faith holding, hardworking, optimistic man.

 

On April 25th, our family's world flipped upside down and came to a halt when my father was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer involving the squamous cells. The evening of April 21st, he couldn't stand the pain and consistent headache any longer, and paid a visit 2 the emergency room. The emergency room scans showed a 7.3 centimeter mass to be wrapped around the lower bronchus of the left lung. Because of how big the tumor is, it has completely blocked off the lower lung from moving air. Tracy is still in the hospital for the pain, coughing up blood, and a consistent headache. He is scheduled to have a surgery to place a port for the chemo and radiation. Unfortunately, this surgery is postponed until the doctors are able to get control his pain and diminish his headache.

 

The oncologist has informed us that he will need to do radiation for 5 days a week for the first seven weeks, and then we'll receive his first chemo treatment. Tracy is ready to tackle cancer. He is a FIGHTER!! Unfortunately, treatment cannot begin until after he is discharged from the hospital, due to the fact that the Oncology Clinic is not on site with the hospital. On top of the piling medical bills, for the duration of chemo, radiation, or any other treatments/appointments, my family will be making a one-hour commute (30 minutes 1 direction) to fulfill these. This will sadly place my family in financial bind and lowering the amount of income coming in.
