Wayne Rutz's Medical Fund

Please help the man with miles of smiles, Wayne Rutz Jr.!
In February 2016, Wayne was admitted to the hospital with severe back pain and was later diagnosed with multiple myeloma (blood plasma cancer) which forms tumors on and in the fissures of bones. Wayne has these tumors throughout his entire body. He underwent surgery to remove the largest tumor pressing on his vertebrae, which included having a titanium cage, rods and screws inserted in his back. He had radiation and chemotherapy to help treat the remaining tumors in his body.
In September 2016, Wayne had a stem cell transplant in hopes to replace the unhealthy blood-forming cells with healthy cells.
Unfortunately, January 25th, 2017 his family was given the news that the stem cell transplant did not work and the multiple myeloma was back with a vengence. He will now undergo extensive radiation and a new/stronger chemotherapy regimen to help treat the growing tumors in his body.
Wayne has a long road to recovery and more hurdles to battle. Since he is self-employed, the treatments, traveling and time away from work is a huge expense. Please donate to help him with all the financial needs and to kick cancer's butt!
