Support Bob Gatherer in his fight
Donation protected
Bob Gatherer has been fighting Multiple Plasmacytoma, a rare blood cancer for the last 2.5 years. After two spinal cord operations to remove tumors, multiple radiation treatments and 4 cycles of chemo therapy, Bob has made the decision to put his life in the hands of the OHSU doctors in Portland, Oregon, where he will be undergoing a stem cell transplant treatment. The doctors at OHSU are treating his cancer the same what they would be treating Multiple Myeloma.
Bob’s cancer does not have a cure and is terminal, however if managed and treated properly, he is expended to live for many many many more years to come. The first step to get to this point is the stem cell transplant treatment.
As of November 11th, Bob and Patti will be staying on the OHSU campus, living out of their travel trailer throughout the treatment. OHSU only has six RV parking slots available for patients, so as you can image both Bob and Patti feel very fortunate to be so close to his team of doctors. During Bob’s stay he will be admitted into the hospital for 2-3 weeks, until his blood levels recover to a level where the doctors can release him. Assuming Bob’s treatment goes as planned, and his blood levels recover as expected, is discharge date is schedule for January 15th.
As you can imagine, being able to stay on campus comes at a high cost, tackled with overwhelming medical expenses, can put anyone in a financial bind. Let’s come together and help support Bob and Patti during these challenging times.
Donations are welcome. More importantly, prayers are too.
