Back Story

Lets rally around Richard Howe Sr., who needs our support through his journey with Renal Cell Carcinoma and unexpected medical expenses.

On July 14 2014 Richard was diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma (what a shock) he went to the ER because he had not been feeling well his symptoms where dizziness and throwing up the ER Doctor said he had Vertigo and took some x-rays of his belly, chest and head. The results where in, not only did he have Vertigo but also Renal Cell Carcinoma in his right kidney and both lungs and he never smoked (he will need his right kidney removed and do Chemo for his lungs) so far since July 14th 2014 he has been hospitalized 4 times, multiple 911 calls transporting him from home to the hospital. He has also lost approx. 60 pounds in the past few months. We are now waiting for his surgery date for the removal of his right kidney and getting him set up for Chemo and because of his Vertigo he fell a couple of times and broke his right ankle and twisted his right knee and now walks with a walker (he has an appointment on Aug 19 with an Orthopedic doctor). He turned 62 yrs old June 9th. Can't even imagine what all the medical bills will be.
