Parishioner John Hayes, a cantor in our choir, was diagnosed with Urethral cancer which is a rare form of kidney cancer. After his diagnosis he went through 12 weeks of chemotherapy and then surgery to remove his diseased kidney. A recent PET scan showed that 2 more lymph nodes had cancer. He is now going through a new type of cancer treatment known as immunotherapy. Praise God, it seems to be working well and the tumors have shrunk significantly!
John notes that while undergoing treatment and seeing so many others go through similar treatments to save their lives, he realized how lucky he is to have health insurance coverage, which covers much of the burden of this treatment. John and his family decided to set up a “GoFundMe” page in order to provide the blessing of health care to those who are not covered by health insurance so to treat and defeat the disease of cancer. If you would like to join the Hayes’ to help others undergoing treatment for cancer and who are being financially devastated by the costs, please go to:
