Russ an Us vs Colon Cancer
Donation protected
Russ was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer that had spread to his liver already in June 2018. He has taken 4 different types of chemo infusions in Coffeyville since diagnosis and each one has helped to shrink the tumors for a short time of 6 months or so and then they began growing again. There currently is no cure. Russ is traveling to Md Anderson in Houston Texas on February 3rd hoping to find a longer term treatment. He has 4 children 1 foster child an 1 grandchild. His wife of 24 years works partime at H & R Block and takes care of him the rest of the time. He hasn't worked off of their farm for several years now due to epilepsy that started as a teenager an previous brain surgery in 2002 an 2004 to decrease his seizure activity. The appointments out of town and missed wages have become a burden financially. The trip to Houston will probably result in many more trips to come. Relieving some of the financial burden will be so helpful to them so they can keep their focus on Russ's care and the 3 kids they still have at home.
