Donate to help with Steve's medical expenses

If you’ve reached this site, you most likely know that after many tests and scans Steve was diagnosed with cancer in his parotid gland this summer. He had surgery in September to remove as much of the tumor and infected areas as possible on his head and face. He is now in the throes of daily radiation and weekly chemotherapy treatments. Stacey and Steve have been posting updates of his cancer journey on his CaringBridge page. They explain Steve’s experiences from symptoms to diagnosis to prognosis to recovery with more detail and eloquence than I can.

Unless you’ve had your own cancer battle, the fear of facing cancer and the seemingly endless road of fighting it is unimaginable. The last thing a family should have to worry about, let alone think about, is how to pay for the necessary and experimental treatments. The truth is that even if you are fortunate enough to have great healthcare insurance, it is not free and does not cover everything you may need. The Shades were forced to operate on a limited budget for four weeks during Steve’s recovery from surgery in September. He will now be off work again for almost two months. At the same time additional medications are continually added to his cocktail which are expensive to say the least.

As Stacey’s sister, I wish I were in the position to cover all these unexpected costs. You have all been generous with providing dinners for the MealTrain, helping with my nieces, and sending support with your positive thoughts for Steve. I humbly ask #TeamSteve to contribute what you can if you are able to lighten this burden and let Steve, Stacey, Lydia, and Josie focus on Steve’s fight and health.

Thank you all for your consideration,
Melissa
