Kick Back For Nick! Help Us Knock His Cancer Out
Donation protected
Nick (Gary) Hogman is Anna's big brother, my brother-in-law.
(Yeah- we goof around quite a bit). Nick is a great guy - loves his wife Jen, his son Michael & extended family, and is into cooking, cycling, martial arts. He is murder in any trivia contest.
Nick has always been someone you can count on for advice and support-but we have unfortunately come to remember that not every question in life has an easy trivia answer. And not every fight can be won with a sweep kick.
In early September, Nick received news of a fight he won't be able to win alone. Nick received a diagnosis of colon cancer after a malignant tumor was found during a colonoscopy. He had a partial colon resection surgery on September 16, 2020. During that surgery, they discovered that the cancer had metastasized to his liver. Further scans have shown 4 visible lesions on his liver (spread across both lobes of the liver). They also found cancer present in the lymph nodes surrounding the colon tumor.
As a result, his next step is to meet with an oncologist and begin the chemotherapy process.
Here is where (and why) I am stepping in and reaching out. I have never done a GFM page although I have certainly donated to many. In Nick's case - he found himself recently married and between employers and in just about the worst spot you could be insurance-wise. There is coverage there but it's not great. Any help we could lend him would be so warmly appreciated. With some extra funds he can potentially get BETTER chemo treatments.
Encouraging words in the comment section or a SHARE are welcome too- please!
And in any case, it will of course ease the costs of this serious bump in the road - we all know how C takes it's toll on just about every aspect of life. On behalf of the family, thank you :)
