From Shakopee Friends and Family:
On October 10th 2014 Keith/Draces
draces was diagnosed with stage 4a colon cancer. He has undergone multiple chemotherapy treatments as well as a complex 11 hour surgery to remove what ended up being a lot more tumors than what was originally found.
The surgeons had to removed his gallbladder, 1/3 of his liver, a foot and a half of large intestines, a small chunk of his duodenum (first part of small intestines) right next to the exit of the stomach, appendix, 22 lymph nodes, tissue around the pancreas and the right kidney.
Because of the surgery done to his small intestines he has to have a temporary ileostomy for the next 3-6 months. Once healed he will have one last surgery so it is no longer needed.
Its been about a month and a half since his surgery which took place on January 29th 2015. Today Keith/Draces went to get what would hopefully have been his last 4 months of Chemotheropy to kill off any possible remaining cancer. Unfortunatly when he got his CT scan they found 2 new tumors growing in his liver. He will have to undergo more surgery in about 3 months to remove these tumors.
This is a very difficult time in Keith's/Draces life and he needs the support of his friend and family. Which is why we are coming together to raise money to help him take care of whatever it is he may need to help him through this.
As you may know he has outstanding medical bills which are nearly impossible to handle on his own. Currently he owes about $90,000 in bills. Because of this it is hard for him to enjoy himself and use money for things that make him happy. I know for a fact he is unable to go to Furry Conventions that he wishes he could because of this.
Even if we are donating purely for Keith's/Draces Medical bills, he still would not have the funds to do all the things he loves and just for comfort in this time.
Donations big and small are greatly appreaciated. However, if you don't have anything to spare, sharing this page could be just as helpful. Please help this lovable Snow Leopard through his journey and show him how important he is to this world.
- On a side note,
SaltySuits going to be doing a custom head auction starting at $450 for any canine / vulpine character on a resin based head. With all proceeds going directly to support for Draces.
