It is Giving Tuesday, and I am asking you to consider donating to my cancer-fighting GoFundMe campaign. For the past year, I have been fighting multiple myeloma and, while I’ve just had the bone marrow biopsy that follows an autologous (platelet) transplant by 100 days, and the myeloma itself is in a state of remission, now begins the process of repairing (or attempting to repair) the damage done by the disease. That will start with the repair of a hernia. I’ve had to live with this thing since last Fall and can imagine it as the cause of much of my present discomfort. It’s going to take surgical repair, and I couldn’t do that until we had the multiple myeloma under control. After that is resolved, I’ll be able to assess just how much of my present state of discomfort and disability might be a matter of bone damage, again caused by the myeloma, in my ribs and spine.
The bottom line is that, despite the progress and good news, this thing is far from over and I still need help. Please go to https://gofund.me/f3a82b82 . You will see that I am very close to reaching my goal. Please help me get there. Even better, let’s blow the roof off this thing. These funds have been (and continue to be) essential in dealing with the uninsured expenses related to this ordeal, and I am eternally grateful to the many who have given to help get me to today. Thank you.
If you haven’t yet and have enjoyed some of our Lapper energy in the past year, please go to the GoFundMe campaign (live link on the Profile/LinkTree) and give. I appreciate you.
