My Brother Mike Burns Needs Your Support

With 2 more subsequent visits to his Dr, and a concerning trip to the Emerge, Mike was finally granted a requisition to have a Colonoscopy, in which it was revealed that he had been egregiously misdiagnosed! He was devastated to find out he in fact has Colon Cancer. As there is no known history of it in the family, this news came as a big shock!

As to the extent of its severity, it is yet to be determined, but his path ahead is clear. Mike will require Radiation and Chemo in hope to shrink the tumor to qualify to have it surgically removed.
