Support Glenn's Battle Against Throat Cancer
Donation protected
To tell this story, well would have had to know my husband Glenn whose a positive, happy out-going person, and always thinking of others. Glenn and I met almost 25 yrs ago at Catholic Medical Center. He worked 35 yrs or more loving what he did best caring and giving his heart to others.
We both enjoyed working together in Florida and New Hampshire. Our future passion and focus has always been to create an humanitarian project together to help others in a positive way. Uxpectantly Glenn was diagnosed back in June with throat cancer (stage 4) which had spread to lymph node. He had continued to work at GVHC in meredith NH in the rehab unit up until his patient couldn't hear him anymore due to a paralyzed vocal cord by the mass on his neck. Nothing we could ever imagine would happen. I had been balancing work when I can and caring for Glenn. We had been traveling to Boston weekly to Dana-farber for the past few months for treatment. Until he ended up in the hospital, deathly sick. He will continue moving forward positively with care and comfort, but also seeking alternative treatment while keeping comfortable as possible..Now it's becoming financially hard to maintain enough fund for bills, necessities, and anything medically necessary. My focus for the past six months has solely been to care for him the best that I know how, and making sure he gets the care that he needs no matter what.
It has been a constant challenge for him going through this, even though he's very sick, not his normal self, a giving and loving individual, who "played work as he called it" being he loved interacting with his patients, and their families by impacting their lives in a positive way, he's trying to stay strong. He believe theirs a purpose in everything...Writing this was extremely hard for me, and after him reading it brought tears to his eyes (heartbreaking) cause he would never ask, but help is needed now and if you can provide, we would truly appreciate it...Thank you...
