Hi Jenny, welcome to Connect. I'm so glad you found us.
I'd like to introduce you to a few members who are walking similar paths. Please meet @IndianaScott @bbams and @besrus5. You can read some of their stories here:
- My husband has pancreatic cancer http://mayocl.in/2bmaoPd
- IV Colorectal Cancer Patients - Questions from a caregiver http://mayocl.in/2bHwXQ2
- Brain cancer: Oligodendroglioma http://mayocl.in/2bPjQgX

This is a journey for which there are no road maps. We're here to help sort through the tangled path. How are you and Gary doing today?

Its definitely going to be a long journey. Having to drive 2 hours to the cancer doctors then drive back, twice a week. Its hard im also disabled so our finances are getting bad. I did create a fund me page havnt had any luck with it yet.

Good! Have your friends spread the word? Chris's page that my brothers and his best friend created was spread all over social media by everyone we know. His dad has a ton of contacts in his town but spread it through work contacts and everything. Raised a LOT of $. Then his brother held a benefit for colorectal cancer awareness in Chris's honor which raised $12k. We gave it to the hospital though because the crowd was all the same people that donated to the crowd rise (like go fund me) fund so we felt bad taking that $ too :/ Oh... crowd rise takes less off the top than go fund me. and i think there is an even better one than that so you may want to look into it. Chris's crowdrise took like $3k+ and I feel like that's a LOT and I think go fund me takes double.
