I hate asking people for money but in this case, I'm exploring any and all avenues for financial help to pay for my wife's newly discovered Ovarian cancer treatment..

She's in Mexico getting the treatment (and because she has no insurance here in the U.S.) and with the Peso being worth around $19 Pesos to $1 USD currently, it will go a much longer way down there to pay for her surgery and chemotherapy.
If you can help, Thank You :'(

I'll give something soon.

If you are able to that's great but you don't have to.
I really appreciate it :)

Until the end of July, all proceeds from QuipTracks products will be donated to RVR II to help pay for his wife's cancer treatment. Let's pitch in and help out a valued, long-standing member of this community!

That's fine. Thanks!
We're both coping as best we can.. She's there in Mexico getting treatment and I'm here trying to manage the monthly bills and finish unfinished work for clients :-[

I am very sorry, RVR II.  I hope that it has been caught in time for a safe recovery.

[I almost never click the 'Unread' link, so don't see new threads independent of those I've followed for years, and with my recent condition, I've not visited the RRAARRGGHH or psychology threads for a while, so I only just learned of this.  Then I found and read the Order of the League thread on it before posting.]

Wonderful what the OotL group and others are doing, donating their proceeds.  Since I already own all the QT riffs, I'll have to buckle down and finally review some more of those that I haven't managed to review yet while Asbestos Bill's offer stands.  Hats off to all of your for your generosity.

Again, my best wishes for an optimal outcome for your wife.

Did her UT infection clear up yet?  Will they still do the surgery Sunday if it hasn't?

FYI:  They can only guess at the stage using scans (for early stages), visual observation is needed so after the surgery they should know.

I believe it has cleared up.. She hasn't told me as the last few days were talking about business matters, getting client taxes finished and ready to send out.. Her sister from Charlotte was here yesterday for several hours helping me out.
I will confirm with her today if she is over her urinary track infection today as her surgery is still scheduled for Sunday morning 8am CST.

Yeah after surgery they should have a better idea about the cancer.. As far as I know, she could be transfered to Acapulco for chemo shortly after surgery possibly sometime this coming week.

I will know more and will post another video update sometime Sunday afternoon or evening hopefully

Well my wife was scheduled for surgery around 8am CST today but was bumped by a guy that was in a bad accident and had to have his arm amputated :speechless:
So she's still waiting at the hospital in Iguala Mexico :-[

Based on the biopsy results, she has Stage 3 cancer and it's aggressive. I'm an emotional mess right now..
