<div>My name is Victor Atkocaitis, age 77, and I’m battling Aggressive Prostate Cancer. Having survived the Covid 19 Pandemic as a full-time Walmart Associate for 17 years, my doctors and I are now fighting the fight of my life against Prostate Cancer. I need daily Pinpoint Radiation Treatment and other costly pharmaceutical therapies. The severe side effects of Radiation Therapy at my advanced age make it impossible for me to work during it, hence my appeal to you. 2022 has been a year of cascading health problems and extraordinary bills, starting with a broken wrist in January, an abscess detected by the CT in May, and now this in July. I’ve lost a lot of income. I’m looking forward to returning to full-time employment at Walmart after my Medical Leave, but my cancer is so aggressive some parts of the treatments are scheduled until November 2023. I’ve faced long odds before—I was born in a US Refugee Camp in Germany at the end of WWII— I survived the Russians taking everything except my life and my Mother’s life before we came to the USA as official refugees. With your help, I know I can beat cancer like I beat the Russians. Thank you for your contribution.

<div>Easter Miracle April 8, 2025
</div>
<div>I have a cancer only 200 people in the world have.
</div>
<div>That’s the diagnosis from Renown Hospital and Stanford Medical Center.
</div>
<div>The Renown Hospital Chief of Pathology was truly amazing—she correctly diagnosed it using a series of five tests. Along with placing it under the microscope. And Stanford confirmed it.
</div>
<div>I’d like to thank everyone for their prayers during this time, and Bless God for this least deadly diagnosis. And a shout-out to Walmart who gave me the days off for the surgery. And yes—the CT scan on April 7 was completely clean—no metastasis.
</div>
<div>It is called “BCC Anal Cancer.” Specifically, Nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Anus. You can Google it and see the medical journal articles on it—and just how rare it is.
</div>
<div>In essence, it is a skin cancer around the anus, caused by unknown factors (such as environment, or genetics perhaps). It is—Thank God—not SCC—Squamous Cell Carcinoma—which usually occurs inside the anal canal, and is caused by HPV—a sexually transmitted disease. That SCC anal cancer is primarily treated by radiation—which, due to my prior radiation—might have precluded any treatment at all. Anal SCC can be a very aggressive cancer. So God helped me dodge a big, big bullet here.
</div>
<div>BCC of the Anus—only 2/100ths of 1% of anal cancers are this type. 200 people.
</div>
<div>And it is treated primarily by excision—which my amazing MD/PhD surgeon did on March 18 at Renown in Reno. And it is healing quite nicely now.
</div>
<div>Nodular BCC is generally indolent, meaning, slow growing. That is the characteristic of Nodular BCC, although, in the anus I was told, it could become more aggressive. With your help, I am prepared.
</div>
<div>So—I am simply going to Bless God and anticipate a long and happy life.
</div>
<div>I still have co-pays to pay off, and prescription drugs to buy, and more doctor’s visits in the future for my treatment. I hope to use the remainder to help get some type of Air Conditioning which we totally lack now for our high desert 100 F+ days.
</div>
<div>Once more I am asking for your help. Anything you can give will be deeply appreciated. Thank you.
</div>
