Steve Bakkens fight against cancer
Hello all,
As most of you know Steve Bakken has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer with metastasis to his liver. The 29 year old husband and father of two learned about this diagnosis about a month ago. He has recently started his long road of cancer treatments.
If you don't know Steve, thanks for making it this far. Here's a quick intro: Steve is married to Laura and they have 2 young beautiful kids (Conner and Colbie) and are currently living in Cambridge, Mn. He is the type of person that would do anything for his friends and family, works hard, Avid outdoorsman,easy to get along with and has a talent for making any situation better. This is our chance to help make Steves situation better.
I've created this site to give us a chance to stay updated and support the Bakkens. We all know cancer sucks, but it's also very expensive to treat. Any amount of donations is greatly appreciated.
I'll be posting Lauras updates for now.
From Laura- April 3rd
Steve Bakken was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. He will be getting a port (permanent iv) placed this week and starting chemo either this week or early next week...depends on when the port is placed. Surgery to remove the colon mass will be in the future once the chemo has had time to shrink the mass. He will be having chemo treatments every other week and will be a 48hr infusion that he'll be able to do at home.
We appreciate all good vibes/thoughts and prayers! We are staying as positive as we can in this situation. Having so many amazing family and friends close by to help out makes everything easier.
