Great news!

Today is a great day! I found out that my dads liver biopsy results were negative and the cancer DIDN'T spread! How awesome is that?! He also FINALLY gained some weight! He gained 8 pounds in a week and is up to 135! Thank you everyone for the prayers and positive thoughts, we greatly appreciate them!

Please help

     My dad was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in January of this year. They will be doing a biopsy of his liver to see if it has spread due to noticing suspicious lesions on his liver. He has been on chemotherapy since February and has lost 70 lbs so far which brings him down to 127 lbs. He had to have a feeding tube put in July due to not being able to eat at all.


      He is currently on short term disability which will turn into long term disability very soon and is only receiving 60% of his pay which has put a huge financial strain on him and our family.

     Our goal is to raise $5,000 for my dad, Terry to help give him the financial peace of mind necessary to help him fight his battle against cancer. Please give if you can. All donations will be humbly and very gratefully accepted and appreciated. Thank you.    Also, please feel free to share his fund raiser page to others. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.   Please Donate here (There is also a widget on my right sidebar)

Cancer is evil

     Today I took my dad to his oncologist to get some fluids because he is super weak and losing a lot of weight and a shot because his white blood count is low and I had a breakdown. As I dropped him off at the front door, I watched his scrawny self struggle to walk to the front door. He walks so slow and it takes so much out of him. I can see his shoulder blades poking out of his shirt. I watch him slowly walk to the front door as he holds his, too big for him now, pants up because we can't afford new clothes right now. Within seconds, I burst out into tears.

     No one deserves to get cancer but especially not my dad. He was never a drinker, he was never a smoker, rarely got sick and was only in the hospital once his entire life. Now, since January he has been admitted into the hospital four times so far. With blood transfusions, dehydration, nausea, and vomiting, my Dad does not deserve this. A man who has always put everyone first his whole life and still does now. A man who would do anything to make you laugh/smile. A man who has already struggled financially his whole life because he helps out others. So, why him? I just don't get why he has to go through this.

     I could probably ask so many more questions and say so many more reasons on why he doesn't deserve this but it won't change the fact that I hate cancer and it is evil!

Just some of the cards he has received. He is loved by all. Such a great man, my hero, my dad.
