I write this with a heavy Heart, my oldest son Tony has been diagnosed with Burkitts lymphoma.

Tony started chemo treatments sunday which is a 4 day treatment he is planned for 8 regiments of treatment over 6 months including spinal taps and blood transfusions.

 

His fire dept is throwing a benefit for him would be nice to see some NJGF shirts and USPSA shirts in the crowd..

 

The benefit is scheduled for Dec 5th @ parkertown fire house 4pm-8pm.

I will send small money order, please PM me snail mail.

I'd also like to send a donation because I can't make the dinner. Please PM me your PayPal account or a snail mail address

Sorry about the news Tony.

 

Like already said above, please post up a paypal account or something and i'd be happy to donate. 

Sorry to hear Tony. Best wishes for a speedy recovery

I can't make it either but would send a donation and let someone eat the spaghetti.  

I'm sorry to hear that, Tony.    How high risk is he?  I hope the Chemo goes well - let us know if you or your family need anything.

 

Let us know where to help donate as well, if we can't make it down.  I'm not sure what my plans are yet for that date.

Pinned to the top of this section Tony to get you the most exposure possible.

I have been MIA from the forum for the past year or 2. But Tony maybe someone can start a go fund me or you could post a link if there is one already im interested in donating for this.

Hey Tony,

 

I'm sorry I missed your post last month.

 

Make sure your son has been diagnosed through genetic testing and not simply by signs/symptoms. Rare cancers are easy to mis-diagnose. It's extremely important to get the right treatment at the right time.

 

Regardless I am happy to donate. Please post details for checks, money orders, etc. 

 

Good luck. I'm thinking of Tony

Tony's treatments have been going well, he goes back in to start his 4th treatment on the 31st.. so he is in for 5 days and out two weeks gets two chemo pushes while out. 

 

The dinner went very well thanks to anyone who may have mailed in donations to fire house. the firehouse setup and account and tony submits medical bills to them to be paid..

All in total 18,000 was raised to date..

 

I will upload some pics from dinner..

Our prayers are with him.  Tell him we are pulling for him and never give up the fight.

Tell him to read "Mind over Medicine" by Lissa Rankin.

Thanks T bill.

Good to hear. You and yours are in my prayers.

 

What is the status with the bills?

Good to hear. You and yours are in my prayers. What is the status with the bills?

Pretty good so far, he has health insurance so far two bills have come from atlanticare ac hospital pamona.  one was 98,000  the other 93,000  he had to pay 6,000  out of pocket for ins deductible those two bills he has to pay 1,200 each  towards them.. His boss was able to change his ins policy for 2016 and his new deductible is 750.00 from 6000.00  We have not recived any bills yet from penn or home nursing took 3 month for these to come in.  also has had few emergency room bills come his copay is 100.00 but then specalists bills come in from the visits.. so they add up..
