I emailed Edward and got the ok from him. Thanks Ed

My younger brother Ted (age 54) was just diagnosed with brain cancer, lung cancer and bone cancer. Last January he had this third heart operation and everything was looking up. Until the Monday after Thanksgiving when he was given this news. Surgery is not an option. Right now he is going thru radiation to hopefully shrink the brain lesions. Once the test results come back from his PET scan, he will have to determine whether he wants to go through chemotherapy and more radiation. He doesn't want to add quantity to his life, unless it means he will have quality of life. His youngest child is 16 years old and his goal is to see him graduate high school - which is another 2 1/2 years! He has a very good attitude about things and is trying to live everyday to the fullest. He recently had to file bankruptcy and is now unable to go to work because of the possibility of seizures, etc. We are having a benefit for him on January 10th - lunch, silent auction, live auction, bake sale, bands, etc. There is also an account set up for him on line - Go Fund Me . com. I will post the link below. Any donation would be greatly appreciated. Go Fund Me, however, does take a percentage of your donation. I hope it is okay with Ed if I post my personal email also below for those who which to contact me directly about making a donation that way. I will make sure Ted's benefit committee receives any donations made. If anyone has something to donate for the auction, please contact me also contact me and I will give you my mailing address in a personal email. We thank you all for your prayers and support. I am very proud to be a senior member of the Betting Talk Forum. I also want to thank Edward and his staff for allowing me to post this on our forum. God Bless and Happy Holidays. Thanks BiggT

If you do donate, in your message, Please say your from the Bettingtalk Forum. Ted will be so touched.

    Hopefully he has already applied for Social Security Disability. Turn in surgical path or CT/PET scan with the application. Will be allowed immediately. There is a 5 month waiting period from disability onset date though.

    With metastatic cancer, not much is needed to get approved. SSA will order records themselves and may be a faster process, so go ahead and start the process. You can apply online. Make sure to put stage 4 cancer or metastatic cancer as an allegation. A top level examiner will get it and will be given priority. Usually tell people to turn in the surgical path or imaging showing metastasis if they can. Takes the examiner and MD minutes to approve the claim.

    I have received 4 more donations for Ted and that makes 12 from this site. Can not thank you enough. Update on Ted is he is very weak and going to try to start his chemo this coming Monday and is way to weak and sick to make his own benefit. Prayers please.
