Paypal address for Chris (IPO)

**green-lantern** · 08-08-2011, 05:38 PM

Here is the paypal address for Chris. I urge everyone to please dig deep and spare what you can because they are going to have one hell of a battle ahead of them. I hope this communality can really help out and make this a bit easier on Chris and Vicki.

Thanks to everyone that has expressed concern and said they want to help.

It will NOT charge a fee if you pay from your bank.

If you haven't heard about Chris then see below.

The drugs for chemo are $8,000 per month but we may qualify for help with the meds, and The stem cell bone marrow transplant will be around $200,000. It's time to sell some things.

Edit for more detail:

6 months ago Vicki and I both noticed I was getting fatigued a lot. I was working a full time job and rehabbing the new house, but I was really drained.

3-4 months ago fatigue was still an issue but now I was getting wore out doing much less. While I built the new garage I was bruising very easily and they would be deep and hard. Unlike me, I am hard to bruise.

2-3 months ago I started having pains in my rib cage to around my back. Couldn't take deep breaths in because it was so painful. Figured I pulled muscles.

3 weeks ago the bleeding started. Flossed and a tooth/gum bled for 3 days. Then my sinus started bleeding out my nose and down my throat. This went on for 6 days and nights pretty heavy. Not having insurance I dealt with it.

2 weeks ago, Still having "pulled muscle" feelings in ribs and back, I woke up with a very hurt shoulder. For no good reason. We went to the ER.
They did a blood workup and my blood count was at 7.5 (should be 14) and I was very anemic.

They admitted me and the next morning gave me 2 units of blood. They also did the bone and bone marrow biopsy. That hurt and still does.
My blood was monitored by drawing blood every morning at 4am. It had come up to 8.4 then 9.2 but then dropped back to 8.5. I then got another unit of blood and the next day I was up to 9.4, my HTC (the percentage of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells) was only 27 and normal is 42 but they let me go home.
The next day the marrow biopsy was back. 80% of the marrow was cancer. Stage 3 Multiple myeloma confirmed.

Multiple myeloma is a very rare cancer and normal age for getting it is 70-80. There is very little known about why people get it. The only theory so far is people that work in the petroleum industry.

We will be doing a PH diet (raw foods mostly vegs and fruits etc) as there are many that have beat this and other cancers with this alone and we know 2 people personally that have used diet only and won, and we will be doing the IV and pill Chemo that my Hematologist/Oncologist has setup for us. The drugs he is using are newer with very few side effects. No hair fall out, no upset stomach. Then Bone marrow stem cell transplant if we can come up with the $100,000-$200,000

My body had been telling me something was wrong. I ignored it like a dumb ass male. But can't dwell on that now. It's time to kick cancer's ass and live life.

Thanks for all your support, it means a lot!

I also like the idea of selling off extra parts to raise money.
I have things I would gladly donate.
Could we create an auction thread and how many would be willing to donate items?
