Donation protected
Update- Jeff has passed to go be with his dad Friday morning.
In 2018 Jeff was diagnosed with rectal cancer.
He had 2yrs of complications with that and finally ended up having a permanent ostomy bag. He had Back problems before during and after. He had Back Surgery placing rods screws cages in his back in 2020. Then he had issues with his bladder caused from radiation gone wrong. Back and forth to Mayo Clinic to try and fix the bladder. He had surgery for a major blockage in his colon in 2023. Jeff had to stop working December 2023 because the pain in his back was to severe. Jan 2023 a lump on his neck appeared. March he was diagnosed with throat cancer. Mayo appts for his bladder fix was halted. Went through radiation and chemo only to get results that the cancer was very aggressive and spread to his lungs and chest despite the chemo radiation. Started immunotherapy 6 weeks in found out the cancer had spread to his spine. Nothing more could be done and jeff did not want anything else as only 10% chance of helping.
He is now in the hospital with pneumonia and a severe kidney infection. It has been decided not to take any further action and just keep him comfortable. His wife has been off work for a few weeks now taking care of him. The goal is to help cover household bills and funeral expenses. Anything helps. Thank you!
