Ken's Medical Bills

My dad's back started hurting at the beginning of this summer, while he was doing summer repairs. He went to physical therapy, a chiropractor, massages, etc. None of that helped.

On October 3rd, he got an MRI and they found out that his L1 and S1 were fractured. On top of that, the radiologist doing the MRI saw spots of cancer... He had a CT scan done to see if it really was cancer, and it came back inconclusive. So, they did a biopsy.

Before they got the results of the biopsy, they discovered a growth in his throat (which was actually on his tongue) so they had to do yet another biopsy...

The first biopsy results were "diffuse large B cell Lymphoma" and that it was an aggressive type. (Which makes it easier to cure than a slow growing).

He had surgery to install a port into his chest for the chemo, a surgery for kyphoplasty (to fill the cracks in his bones). And on top of that, we found out that the lump/growth on his tongue was a slower-growing lymphoma that may come back in 5-10 years...

Because my dad is going through all this, there are some days when he is in too much pain to move. And that means he can't go to work or teach music lessons. My parents don't have enough money to pay for all his medical bills and would appreciate any help.
