PLEASE HELP ME IN THE BATTLE FOR MY LIFE.
My name is Frank Lucido. I am a husband to an amazing woman Lauren and a proud father of three beautiful children, two boys, and a girl. We live in a small town in northern California, and I was recently diagnosed with head and neck cancer. I need your help with medical expenses and family support in the fight for my life.
On February 10th of this year, my entire world turned upside down. That day I had a routine checked in with my doctor about a bump on my neck. During my appointment, my doctor referred me to see a specialist that very day. Meeting with the Head and Neck specialist, I endured an intrusive examination and a biopsy from my throat, all leading to a terrifying diagnosis of oropharyngeal cancer. As a healthy, active 52-year-old, never having spent a night in a hospital for my health, I was suddenly facing a grave battle with cancer.
Paralyzed from shock after hearing this news, I began obsessing about my children, who need their father and my wife's burden. I thought about the milestones in my and the many more which should lie ahead. In that instant, a change occurred in me about the beauty and sacredness of ordinary daily life. The profound and straightforward Buddhist aphorism "chop wood, carry water" found new meaning for me.
Heading into radiation and chemotherapy treatments, I am in excellent medical hands and grateful for my doctors. I am asking for your help, so my cancer battle is not a financial battle. If you can make a donation to help us, we will forever be grateful. Our children will grow up knowing the goodness in others, who gave their father a chance to continue fighting to be here for them. If you cannot donate, please share our story, every little bit helps.
