ORIGINAL CAMPAIGN STORY (FEBRUARY 2019): This online fundraising campaign has been set up for family and friends of Anthony Harrington to help with current and anticipated medical expenses related to the diagnoses of bladder cancer and likely liver cancer (biopsy results pending). His limited retirement income and coverage through Medicare along with some supplemental insurance through Kaiser will not be sufficient to cover his medical expenses, e.g. diagnostic labs and imaging, multiple doctor's appointments, bladder surgery, liver cancer chemotherapy, and other future testing and treatments. We are asking for your help toward these costs. Donations of any amount would be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE (JUNE 9, 2019): Thank you to everyone who has donated to the campaign. Since Tony's diagnoses of bladder cancer and liver cancer early this year, he has undergone the procedures of removal of the bladder tumor and removal of the cancerous liver lesions along with nuclear seeding for radiation treatment in the liver. While the bladder cancer may grow back, it can be removed again, and his bladder cancer prognosis is very good. As for the liver cancer, in mid June the effectiveness of the radiation seeds in the liver will be evaluated, checking to see if the lesions have diminished, grown or stayed the same.
Over the first half of 2019 Tony has had over 20 medical encounters, including multiple consultations, imaging including a full-body MRI, screening labs, blood thinner checks, pre-op suitability evaluations, pre-op clearances, uorology check-ups, bladder immunotherapy sessions as well as the major procedures, and will have follow-up appointments and follow-up testing in the near future.
Also, sadly, Tony's wife Natalie was recently found to have thyroid nodules considered 90% likely to be cancer. She will have surgery in June to have them removed. Natalie has recently had multiple endocrinology appointments, three imaging studies and a thyroid biopsy, and will have preoperative appointments in advance of her surgery.
We continue to ask for donations to help Tony and Natalie with their medical bills. Donations of any amount are appreciated!
If you would prefer to donate by mailing a check payable to Anthony or Natalie Harrington, please email [email redacted] for the mailing address.
