IN 2009 FRANK WAS DIAGNOSED WITH RECTAL CANCER. AT THAT TIME HE WENT THREW CHEMO AND RADIATION FOLLOWED BY REMOVAL OF THE RECTUM AND GIVIN A COLOSTOMY BAG. HE WAS FINE FOR 2 YEARS, THEN CANCER RARED ITS UGLY HEAD AGAIN THIS TIME IN THE GROIN LYMPH-NODE, AND ONE IN THE LUNG. HE UNDERWENT CHEMO AGAIN FOR A YEAR. HE WENT IN FOR RADIATION AGAIN, THE RADIATION HAS CAUSED HIM DISCOMFORT IN THE LUNG.HE WENT BACK ON CHEMO.. NOW ONE MORE IN THE PELVIS AREA. HE IS TERMINAL ALL THIS IS JUST TO KEEP HIM ALIVE LONGER. THIS MEANS HE WOULD HAVE TO STAY ON CHEMO THE REST OF HIS LIFE. ALL THIS TREATMENT HAS EXAUSTED OUR MONEY.

HE DOES’NT WANT TO DO ANYMORE TREATMENTS HE IS TIRED OF BEING SICK EVERYDAY, HE SAYS THATS NO WAY TO LIVE. CAN NOT GO ANYWHERE, VISIT ANYONE CAUSE YOUR SO SICK. THE DOCTOR GAVE HIM 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR.

  • Going through something very similar with my mom at the moment. Can't afford to give a lot because I am saving to get back to my mom, but I really hope you are able to make it back east.

  • Frank and Debbie, I have known you since I was a little girl. I don’t have money, but I have travel advantages. I’m a flight attendant and I am willing to give you my travel passes. The passes are space available (open seats), but I will do everything I can to make sure you get to your destinations. I will also fly family to come see you. I fly for Frontier Airlines. Check their routes. If I can help, please let me know. ~Nicole
