Steve Abbott's Cancer Treatment
Donation protected
Hi everybody, now please bear with me as I get thru this. This is not easy for me to do at all and I feel embarrassed about it but I love my kids and they mean the world, I will do anything for them and if embarrassement is what it takes then that's what I am willing to do.
As most of you know I was recently diagnosed with Stage 2 Colorectal Cancer and started treatment relatively quick. Its been an up hill battle that I am determined to defeat but in that there is a lot that goes into defeating this. I love my doctors and am very appreciative of them but I feel that there is another option out there that they are unwilling to explore even thou they feel that it is a viable and option. I don't blame the doctors as they are bound by the scope of there facilities that they work at.
If you know the kind of man I am then you would know that I am very prideful and don't like this at all but pride is what got me into that and what could potentially end up killing me. It was my prideful male ego that didn't allow me to understand that I am not invisible and that I needed to listen to the doctors and go get checked out. I have vowed since then to never ever let that happen and when I say whatever that mean WHATEVER IT TAKES not whatever I feel it takes. This is why I am swallowing my pride and asking for help.
Now the cost of the treatment is $25,000.00 (I would never ask for that much) and covers Office visits, Lab work, prescriptions and a out patient surgery. Again this is not covered under my health insurance because of two factors. It is outside the network and is also considered ELECTIVE. I was put in contact with a group that initially offered to pay 65% of the cost but they have since increased it to 85% which is an absolute blessing and I feel I can come up with the rest which is $3,750.00. Of that I currently have $2,000.00 which leave $1,750.00 and I have attempted to obtain an loan for that amount but have been unsuccessful.
I am asking for your help in hitting that goal of $1,750.00 to have this treatment so that I can keep my word to my kids that DADDY WILLL DO WHATERVER IT TAKES to walk his daughter down the isle and watch his sons grow up into respectable and successful god fearing men. This mean the absolute world to me and would do anything to make this happen
Thank you for your time and all that you guys have already been to me
