Visiting Dad Up North in Illinois
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Andrew and I'm fundraising to go see my dad up north in Illinois. My dad has stage 4 colon cancer and has been fighting it with chemo treatments for several months to maybe a little over a year now. It was four years ago that we found out that he had colon cancer. So he was fighting cancer the same time my mom was dying and eventually did pass away from her own cancer. Through all his circumstances he finally beat it and went into remission for a few years. Just over a year ago he went for his regular check up and they found spots on his lung and a tube that connects the kidney to the bladder. Last week he went in for surgery to remove the spot on his lung. Everything was successful. However a few days later he started feeling weak. He would not eat. He was throwing up anything he did eat. My sisters up north finally had enough and brought him to the hospital; where he is now. The doctors have put a tube down his throat to release him of all the junk building up because of the blockage they found. He is doing better now, but he's not out of the woods yet. Once he gets through all of these diversions; he also has surgery planned to remove the other spot in a few weeks.
