Hurdles and High Places
Another round of Chemo today. We've got some tumors to shrink and kill. Sometimes it seems like we're just going around in circles and jumping the same hurdles. We've been referred over to palliative care, but that's a positive thing because we have a whole team addressing complications and providing more effective pain management.
But, we think we're getting better this all. It's not easier per se, but having an idea about what's coming next brings some peace.
We're tag teaming the latest technologies of chemotherapy and naturopathy. Taking numerous supplements, off-label meds, some anti-parasite solutions, and continuing on in lifestyle and diet changes.
While much of this is covered by insurance, much is not.
There continues to be expenses for travel, lodging, and food when we going to the big city often for treatment or consults.
If you'd like to help offset some of those expenses, use this platform towards that end. It is a safe and trusted service that we've been using for years.
Until our next update, thank you all for your support, encouragements, and love.
Miguel, Lauren, and Kate.
As many of you know, we've been through it this past 2+ years. Pain and discomfort, diagnosis, cancer detected, unbelievable insurance and medical bureaucracy to navigate, multiple surgeries, chemo, and recently a major 20 hour surgery which was supposed to be curative.
There have been many challenges in and around all of these to include physical, mental, spiritual, and financial. It's been a tough road.
I am thankful for all of you that have donated generously to keeping me alive. I mean it. I have known several here who have passed because they couldn't afford to pay for treatment etc.
Our current 'challenge,' is weight gain. I'm having a bit of difficulty gaining weight. We'd like to supplement protein powder that is not junky to maintain and build muscle. But, it costs a hundred bucks a container. If you'd like to purchase 1 or 2, use this platform.
Even with many donations, we are still accumulating debt. Simply put, we can use an influx of new donations. If you are able to make a recurring monthly donation, great. If you can donate one time, awesome! If you cannot donate but can share these updates, we appreciate it greatly.
In any case, this platform is trusted and secure and we've been using it for a lot of years. You can trust that your donation will get to us safely and in a timely manner.
We Love you all.
Miguel, Lauren, and Kate.
