I never thought I would be asking strangers for help, but here I am. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer during COVID -19 March 2020. It was very difficult to get medical help during the early days of the pandemic but now i am facing a choice of radical surgery (prostate removal), radiation, or laser ablation.
The first two options, surgery and radiation, have very severe, lifelong side effects including incontinence, impotence, a very long treatment or recovery time and a much higher rate of recurrence. Laser ablation has none of these side effects, 3 day recovery with return to work in 1 week.
Laser ablation uses MRI to target the cancer and, basically, burn it out with targeted, focused lasers.
However, laser ablation is not covered by my very limted insurance (which covers only part of the cost of surgery or radiation). The donations here will be used to cover the costs of treatment in Houston, TX, a 3 day stay there, and some living expenses while treatment is taking place.
I have not been eligible for unemployment funds during this pandemic and have been living from my limited savings during this time; I am now at the end of those funds as well.
I am asking for your generous donations to help me get proper care for my disease and return to work as soon as I possibly can. I will have the procedure performed as soon as I have the total money available, hopefully by the end of Sept. 2020.
Laser Ablation - $24000
Hotel/Travel/Food/2people - $750
Doggie care - $200
Utilities/Rent/Phone/Car pmt/Bills/misc - $2900
The situation is urgent, as my cancer is diagnosed as aggressive and treatment should be done now.
Thank you for helping me weather this life threatening disease and thank you for considering me a worthy cause!
Love, Shane
