Help Dad Fight Cancer!

Back in mid 2017, my father was diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer.  When I had found out, I was devastated.  I questioned why this was happening to our family.  I immediately hopped on the next plane available and made my way back home to Jersey to be with the family.  Soon after I arrived, he started treatment.  They did not want to wait since the cancer count was extremely high.  My dad went through 12 treatments.  Long hours at the cancer clinic followed by many days of not feeling well.

After treatment, he started feeling better and even gained some of his weight back.  Our spirits were lifted with hope. He did need to stay on a maintenance program, but nothing that was as invasive as the original treatment. 

Then, in November of last year, Dad started not to feel so well again.  It appeared his cancer count had crept back up again and the doctors discovered spots more predominantly in his liver and one of his lymph nodes.  He is now on a more aggressive treatment that is new to the cancer market and a lot more expensive.  The company my dad works for has been super generous.  People have donated their time for the days he does not have enough energy to go to work or for when he needs to go to the doctor.  And although he does have good health insurance that is covering this treatment, the payment responsibilities are still high when those bills come in. 

My father's future is important to our family and to him.  There is still so much I want to experience with him.  Still so much he wants to experience.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. It will help cover many bills that will start flowing in for the next several months.  It will help for the unpaid days he needs off when his time starts to run out from work.

Every bit counts.

Thank you.
