James’s treatment for Rectal cancer

Venmo: @Jamie-Britt-12 CashApp: $gr8tmommy PayPal: PayPal.Me/mommyof4boys2009 Hey y’all. James asked me to set this up. So I’m doing as I am asked. As some already know James’s was diagnosed with Rectal Cancer. A cancer that hardly ever affects people of his age. He is 29, will be 30 on the 27th of Oct. He is actually the youngest patient his oncologist has treated with this kind of cancer. James has always been one to proved for his family and has worked since he was 12 years old. He worked up until he couldn’t take it anymore. He is a welder and has been welding for almost 8 years now. It’s his passion. With welding comes in long periods of time of standing and sitting. So he had to stop working because of the pain it caused him. It all started about two months ago when he started pooping blood. He thought maybe he strained him self from lifting metal at work. I kept on him to make a doctors appointment to get checked. We started out at Jennie Stuart in Hopkinsville, Ky. Well they didn’t really do a whole lot and said he had cancer or a tear in his intestines. He was only there for 2 hours. How could they find out that fast he had cancer or a tear?? They did no test or even a rectal examine. They just sent him on his way and said for him to make an appointment at a gastroenterologist. So the next morning I made him an appointment in Hopkinsville with the gastro and it was going to be over a month out. That night I told him I just couldn’t take that answer and for us to get a second opinion. He said I will go to Paducah to Baptist health. So that’s what we did. We was there for 7 hours! Several test later, they said to keep his appointment at the gastro. They also said he had a horrible ecoli infection. So he took all the antibiotics he had to. We did a follow up with his primary doctor, who referred him to the Paducah gastro doctor. We was able to get in there within a week. So the week came and we went. He is still bleeding heavily. So she scheduled an emergency colonoscopy for the next morning. He had to drink that God awful stuff. Well we do the colonoscopy and James is still knocked out and his gastro doctor came in and said well Jennie Stuart was right, he has a large tumor in his rectum and it’s causing all the bleeding. It’s about 4 cm big as well as it’s almost closing up his rectum. Well the news hit me hard!! I tried to hold my tears back as the doctor was telling me the next steps. James finally wakes up and I tell him the news. It hurt to tell the one you love, he has cancer. Now that he isn’t able to work as well as I can’t either, we are in desperate need for help. All out bills have been paid for October. We are needing help with gas, food, and other everyday essentials. He has chemotherapy 5 days a week, as well as 5 days of radiation. So we have to travel an hour there and an hour back every day. Gas for both of our vehicles is crazy!! We both hate asking for help!!! But we are struggling horrible. So we are asking for donations. If you aren’t able to donate please, please say a prayer for us and share his story!!! We thank everyone who has been thinking about us!! We love you all!!!!
