Help us beat stomach cancer
Donation protected
My name is Jennifer Wedmore and I'm asking for help on behalf of my husband and our family. Dec 4th my husband Paul went to have an endoscopy because of acid reflux. The doc had issues, put him on a liquid diet, ordered a stat CT scan and then repeated the endoscopy. Everything kept coming up abnormal. Dec 7th we were told they think its cancer. More testing, procedures and office visits and its Stage 1 Large B cell stomach cancer.
We have insurance but it's not enough, its not covering the deductible and this is a fast growing cancer. We have to do a bone marrow biopsy asap to determine if the cancer has spread. If it hasn't Paul only has to do 3 rounds of chemo and then radiation. If it has, that makes it stage 2 and he has to do 6 rounds of chemo then radiation.
Each round of chemo is 1400, and we don't have the cost for radiation yet. After each chemo visit he sees the doctor with a copay. But first we have to do the biopsy and that is $1000 out of pocket! If you can help my family, we'd appreciate it. We have to get treatment started and help my husband heal and our family thriving again.
We are both taking a lot of time off work to make multiple appointments each week, we try hard to hide our fears from our kids. Our youngest is only 11 and she knows daddy is sick but we can get this taken care of fast.
Thank you for taking the time to read our plea for help.
Paul and I didn't share this with many people because we don't like sharing to much detail and we really didn't want to have to ask for help. This is so much bigger than what we can handle. We have an amazing support group, in our families and friends but money is always the issue.
