On June 25, my husband almost died. He was diagnosed with throat cancer in his vocal cords at Baylor Scott & White Centennial and then life flighted to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, where he was admitted to the ICU. On June 28, he had a tracheostomy and a feeding tube placed so he could breathe and eat. On July 3 they placed an PEG tube. After two weeks of treatment, he was released on July 14.
On August 5, he underwent a laryngectomy with neck dissection, partial removal of his thyroid, removal of lymph nodes in his neck, and a flap created from a muscle in his chest. The surgery and his time in the hospital have been intense, and we're facing significant costs ahead.
Now he has started radiation. He goes 5 days a week for 28 sessions.
We're asking for help with medical expenses, copays, and costs not covered by insurance, as well as tolls, gas, and parking for his ongoing care and recovery. In this process he has lost his voice. Please donate, pray and share.
