Fighting For Mike: Please Help a Cancer Patient

Filed in archive Cancer , Cases on October 4, 2007

Through my cancer blog- Cancer Commentary - a certain commenter (SK Robinson) sent me an email that says:

I have been working extremely hard on trying to get the word out about my brother-in-law who is fighting Stage 4 Cancer right now. We all still have hope for him and are not giving up because he has such a positive attitude. If anyone can beat this, he can.

We are trying to raise funds to help pay for his cancer treatments because they are so expensive. For the type of cancer he has, the chemo treatment he needs is still not approved by the FDA; therefore, the insurace won't cover it. My BIL & his wife have to pay $3,000 for ach treatment, and he will have four of these treatments over the next two months. If they are working and results are good, he will have more.

I started the blog and put a Paypal donation button on each post to try and raise some funds for him. Our family is also collecting and recycling empty ink cartridges and old cell phones, turning them in and getting some money for them that way.

I thought I could help from spreading the word and posting also here.

If you'd like to read the whole story (and help) please visit the blog Fighting for Mike or send an email to fightformike@hotmail.com.
