My husband Michael Hardin is the best man I have ever known, a sweet cuddly bear, that loves to hike and take photos.

How it started: A short while ago we were grocery shopping when he passed out. After testing we found out he had stage 4 cancer.

He has been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma esophageal cancer a few weeks ago and he went from being an active outgoing person into a nearly bedridden cancer patient who is nonstop exhausted and is in constant pain.

This sudden diagnosis has brought significant medical challenges and expenses.

Insurance is helping, but co pays and out of pocket expenses are a lot. Michaels port was installed and he has started Chemo every other week and radiation treatments 5 days a week.
