Medical Bills for My Dad's stage 4 Battle
Donation protected
Hi,
My name is Heather and I'm the daughter of this amazing man and woman in the picture above. (Richard and Mary Berardi) For the past 8 years my dad has been fighting an extremely rare form of prostate cancer. He has been stage 4 since day 1. He went into remission for a while after his first treatment plan but the cancer came back double time and has spread throughout alot of his body. He's now fighting a huge battle. Earlier this year they found it had spread to his brain, his abdomen, and his pelvis. He went through brain surgery to remove the tumor they found and now he's going through chemo treatments to hopefully get rid of the other cancer in his lymph nodes throughout the rest of his body. He has lost some vision, balance, cognitive function all around. This has caused him not to be able to work any longer. He is currently filing for retirement and we all know how retirement is. The amount of bills piling up from all the procedures and not working is alot. My mother hasn't been working either because he needs 24/7 care at this point. He can't walk or do everyday things without help. Two days ago we ended up having to get him taken to the hospital because of dehydration, not eating, low oxygen, semi-consciousness. They found he had an infection and did a CT/MRI of his brain. They then told us they found another mass. As of right now we aren't sure what it is but it's in the same spot as the last one. My parents are amazing people they would give the shirt off their backs. They aren't ones to ask for help usually but they really could use it now. Please consider donating if you can and if you can't please share to help them out. Also prayers are so greatly appreciated as well. Thank you so much for reading all of this.
