Help Trav fight colon cancer again!
December 7th they found out Travis has some nodules on his lungs. The 22nd of December they biopsied them. On the 28th they canceled his appointment with another Dr at Huntsman, and said they needed to meet with the oncologist before anyone else. At that point they pretty much knew. They couldn’t get anyone to tell them the results...so they literally prepared for the worst. They spent New Year’s Eve crying and discussing wills and life...like deep stuff! January 1st, about 9:30 Stacy pulled up Travis' mychart to see if the results had auto released, and they had. She read through them twice, looking for a word she had missed, like "not" or "no sign off." Instead she read positive, consistent with metetastic colorectal carcinoma, tumor is present, andenocarcinoma. Shaking, she handed the phone to Trav...Wondering if she read it wrong...no she had not. They sat and held each other and cried for about 10 minutes. Then they broke the news to family, and waited until Wednesday January 6th to talk to the Oncologist. So they met with the Oncologist and found out that he starts chemo right away with hope of treating the cancer. There is not a good chance of curing it...they said maybe a 5% chance of him being cured and he most likely will only survive it another couple years. Travis is a fighter and we will continue to pray for medical advancements or a miracle!
With everything that Travis and Stacy have gone through they are going to need some financial help as well. A close family member out of state let us know that it is very difficult to donate through the American First Credit Union account so I decided to also have the GoFundMe option as well.
Aside from all the doctor bills that will start rolling in again it is very important to Travis that if we don't get the miracle we are all praying for that Stacy and the kids will be taken care of. I really want to give my little brother that comfort of knowing that they will be okay too.
