Support Derek's Battle Against Kidney Cancer

About a month ago, a routine CT to plan for a hernia repair turned our world upside down. A mass the size of a lime was found on Derek’s left kidney. After an MRI and a visit to Pittsburgh, it was confirmed that Derek has cancer of the left kidney and now has to have surgery on July 28th to remove either just the tumor or the kidney itself. Derek will have to be off work for at least 8 weeks, and I know this will potentially upset him that I am reaching out for help, but Derek is the kind of man that would do anything for anyone, so he deserves to be helped as well.
