Trajedy strikes

From Christy:
We’ve had some tough times just like everyone does, but recently it’s been harder than we ever expected. Dom was diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 37. He under went surgery with a general surgeon who stated he had some of the worst cancer he’d ever seen and was given a colostomy bag for his waste. Then he had to go through chemo, and radiation for what seemed like an eternity. He did everything he could to be there for his family regardless of what he was going through. He went to all of his follow up appointments with his doctor and was told he was cancer free!

This went on for 3 ½ years. He began getting bowel obstructions and ended up in the hospital a few times for weeks at a time. Right before Christmas his doctor called saying something in his blood work didn’t look right and that he needed to come in for a PET scan. Before even getting the results of the scan he was back in the hospital, Christmas Day.

For the last two months, he’s been going through hell at a Cancer Center in Tampa. It has finally gotten to the point where we believe they will do more harm than good as they “wait” to figure out what their next move should be. In the mean time I am trying everything I can to get him to a cancer center in Chicago, IL that will give him a chance to beat this. It’s called the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment.

I am asking if any of you are willing or able to help me raise the funds needed to get him there please follow the link on the right-hand side for PayPal. It doesn’t matter how big or small, every cent will be GREATLY appreciated and it will ONLY be used for his care and treatment.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and look at our pictures. I know he has a chance to be around a while longer, he’s certainly not ready to give up. Thank you for your prayers and those of you that can assist in other ways as well.

God Bless!
