Refuse to Sink help Dave beat cancer!

Donation protected
My dad was diagnosed with tonsil cancer in 2018, the cancer was rare but treatable but also so advanced that surgery was not a viable option as too much of his throat would need to be removed to get the tumor out. He sought treatment with radiation and chemotherapy which thankfully were a success! After Christmas we thought all was well and we had beat it. In March 2019 after a PET Scan we discovered that the tonsil cancer was gone, but he now had some spots on his lung. After further testing it was found that the type of cancer he had now was Small Cell Lung Cancer with a PD-L1 Mutation (programmed death). It has metastasized and the treatments and scans are becoming quiet expensive.  My goal for this campaign is to help my parents enjoy the rest of their days to the fullest and helping with some of the mounting medical bills will hopefully take away some of the stress. My dad is a Navy Seabee Veteran (BU3) and has owned his own construction company for as long as I can remember. Everyday he still goes to work, providing a job for his employees and making sure his customers needs are being taken care of. He drives himself to his Chemotherapy & Immunotherapy appointments and then to work, these are days he should be resting but he is making sure everyone else is being taken care of and its time he get a little help to take care of himself.  The Doctors have given him a timeline but I don't think they get to chose how our story ends. And as a grandfather of six, he still has many memories to make <3
