I can hardly describe my disappointment in my cancer return, as I was blessed to have a little over a year to feel healthier and free from pain & fear.

The impact of cancer varies ... it is one of life's most challenging journeys that has changed my life forever.

So many family & friends have been encouraging, inspirational and thankful for our post and updates. We have also been asked, how can we help,?

I decided to share something hard to look at, as it shows the damage and success chemo does to the body.

Chemo is a destroyer of cancer and many other things in the body. That's why it makes me so sick and weak. While I am excited for this physical evidence of my treatment working.... it is only the beginning of my battle.

So, I am scheduled for 6 months of chemo.

During my first battle with cancer, I accumulated over $60,000 in medical bills. After my Go Fund Me of $23.000 raised and a grant for $20,000. I was left with another $20, 000 owed. Rita and I have been able to get that amount under $6000 in the last year.

While I'm on disability, it takes 26 months for Medicare to kick in. My current insurance cost and co-pays have increased to over $2400 a month. (The treatment co-pays is $1900 alone).

This financial responsibility is not within our reach. So we are asking for your help, by opening up my Go Fund Me again. Your support means so much and gives us a needed relief in our journey of recovering not just medically, but financially. We are so blessed and thankful for your previous contributions, along with your care and prayers.

Above are photos of my belly button, which had the cancer growing outside of the body prior to my first chemo. The next photo is after my second chemo. I have 4 more treatments to go and believe that these continued treatments will take care of the rest.

I'm a fighter and a believer.....Go Fight Win!
