Stand with Bob in His Fight Against Cancer
Donation protected
My name is Anne Yao, and I am starting this GO FUND ME for a couple of lifetime friends who have come across some really challenging times and could use all of our support.
On Mother's Day at 3am, Bob finally agreed to go to the hospital to have some issues looked at that had been causing him a significant amount of discomfort over the previous week. The doctors did a CT scan and inserted a naso gastric tube to relieve some of the discomfort from his belly.
Long story short, the doctor came in and let Kris and Bob know that the CT scan had revealed a growth just above his rectum and several lesions on his liver and was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer. Surgery was performed, the colon was taken out and this is when they found out that there were other areas affected as well.
Because of a small complication, he will not be able to start chemotherapy immediately, but the costs of missing work, medical expenses, and anything else should be the last thing that they have to worry about while he is on the mend.
If you can help out by a donation of any amount, that would be so appreciated. If you cannot help monetarily, there are other ways you can help out as well. Visits, words of encouragement, grocery delivery, so many other things.
I will also be starting a meal train sign up for them, and a benefit so watch for those things to come up as well.
Above all....pray.
