I received an email from Jennifer (Jeff's wife) and with her permission, I am going to share with you an email she wrote:
"Very awesome Ashley,you did a great job. I have to tell you when Jeff got off the phone with you today he actually blew out a sigh of relief, I know ever since he found out we would be responsible for 15% cost of his treatment it has been weighing on his mind very heavily, especially since I am a full time student(not employed) and he is not going to be working for a few months. He is way too proud to ask anyone for help so your offerering to put up a website came at just the right time. As he is preparing for the fight for his life I want only positive thoughts on his mind, not stress about how much his medical bills are going to impact our family. When he was told he had cancer, he was more concerned about me and how I was going to cope, then himself. It is the kind of guy he is. Enough of that though, what I am trying to say is thank you, you are REALLY appreciated!

Last week he received a PET, CAT, and Bone Marrow test that confirmed the cancer has not spread so he should not need radiation which is really good news. It has remained localized which is a real blessing with this kind of cancer. Tomorrow at 10am he will be receiving a port and a MUGA scan to make sure his heart can take the chemo drug.If all goes well Wed. he will receive his first dose, they are keeping him until Mon. the 8th for monitoring.The first couple of treatments will be hospitalized because the tumor is thought to be attached to a section of his small bowel loops and they are concerned as the tumor shrinks it might perforate the intestines, he will need immediate surgery if that is the case. We are praying that does not happen and that I can bring him home on the 8th. I will let you know how the port and the test goes tomorrow. Thank you again for all your support. It makes my heart swell with pride to see much Jeff is loved!"
Take care and God Bless,
Jen
