My husband, Bill, has been fighting Stage 4 colorectal cancer since July 2020. He’s endured several surgeries on his colon and liver, including years of chemotherapy and radiation. He’s continued to run his own small business and be a loving father and husband. Although we are blessed with health insurance that my job provides, we are still left with mounting medical bills. This leaves a domino effect on other areas in our lives that are suffering financially, such as college loans for our children.
In 5 years, we’ve never asked for financial help during Bill’s cancer battle. We thought we could handle this all on our own, and we are doing our best. But receiving donations now would help ease a mental burden on our family. It would also help prepare for the future with regards to final plans for Bill when that day comes. We hope it’s a long time from now, but we never know.
He’s currently receiving wonderful care at an NCI Cancer Center, and after trying several variations of chemo, he’s starting a clinical trial to try and get a handle on tumors in his lungs. We would be eternally grateful for any and all donations. We want to spend the last years of Bill’s life not worrying about paying our bills.
