Michael Bigelow Can Beat Cancer Fund!

Donation protected
My husband,  soulmate, and best friend, Mike, was recently diagnosed with stage 3 colo-rectal cancer at 34 years old. The news comes as a shock and at a time when we are just getting ready to settle down in our lives together, potentially start a family, and while Mike is pursuing a degree in Computer Science to further his career.

Mike has to undergo several months of chemotherapy, followed  by a treatment plan of chemotherapy and radiation simultaneously for a few months, in the hopes that the tumor will shrink enough for an anticipated surgery by the end of the year.  By having chemotherapy and radiation to shrink the tumor first, the goal is for a smoother surgery with fewer chances of complications.  During this process, he will have many doctors appointments and scans regularly to monitor how responsive the tumor is to treatments.  Additionally, if we ever want to start a family, we are forced to have to rely on medical intervention, as the effects of chemotherapy and radiation make it very unlikely to happen after treatments. 

In the meanwhile, Mike is unable to work at this time and attending school is proving to be a current challenge. Unfortunately, the bills are also starting to pile up. In order to cover all these medical costs in addition to the usual bills, we appreciate any support you might be able to offer or contribute to the "Michael Bigelow Can Beat Cancer Fund." Much love and gratitude for any and all help!
