Hi everyone! I’m starting a fundraiser for our precious friends Ronnie and Dee Daniel.
I asked Dee to give me a little summary and this is what she sent:
“Ronnie was one month short of being in remission 2 years ago when they found that his kidney cancer had returned. Even though they removed his kidney, unfortunately, there were residual cells.
At that time, his outlook was only 6 months. Through the grace of God, we have been blessed to have had the last 2 years together.
His oncologist told us there were a number of medications available and when one stopped working, we would move on to the next. In the beginning of May, he was put on the next medication and there were at least 2 remaining to try. Then his liver enzymes and bilirubin came back as extremely high. After his latest MRI, we were informed that his cancer had moved to his liver. Therefore, his body would not be able to handle any more of the medications due to the fear of causing more harm.”
They are taking things one day at a time and trying to manage his pain as best they can.
Dee is hardly able to work from caring for him (and let’s not forget her debilitating migraines as well).
Medical bills and normal bills are piling up. Dee is cooking each night at home as well. I’ve also started a Meal Train for folks who can help out that way.
