My stepfather, Mike, was recently on vacation and had some severe nose bleeds that brought him into the hospital. After testing, they found  a large invasive tumor in his sinuses. He is currently in New York and has been admitted to the hospital. Depending on pathology, his care team will be putting together an extensive treatment plan. Mike is expected to be in New York indefinitely. He cannot fly home and driving many hours in a car is not an option. He and my mom are optimistic about his outcome as they wait to hear his final treatment plan and prognosis. 

Mike is a strong, proud person and doesn't ever ask for help. Whatever donations he receives will help tremendously as it will go towards medical bills and loss of income as he cannot work. He currently does not have health insurance but his boss, Beaver, is working on getting him covered. ANY and ALL donations will be greatly appreciated.  It's going to be rough time for them, any bit of help will go a long way. Please keep Mike and my family in your prayers as we endure what storm comes his way.  

Thank you!

Message from Mike:

Good morning Everyone! I will share updates as I can regarding what’s going on as it’s easier for friends to see in one place..
I have Cancerous Tumor in my Sinus cavity that has completely filled my left sinus cavity and spread up to skull cap and ate bone away to mildly enter my brain cavity . It has not touched the brain itself as far as we know at this time. It’s pushing on facial structure and my nose internally and involve nerves and blood vessels . Current symptoms are tremendous pain and bleeding from my nose/tumor. I basically hemorrhaged out my nose for a week on and off. Now they have it back to fluid mixed with light blood thank god. Thank god for FF Thompson Dr and  hospital who made a decision to CT scan and found the mass and immediately transferred me over to University Of Rochester Medical Center who confirmed the tumor. The care and concern I’ve had from Dr’s and staff has been incredible! Tuesday the board meets to plan treatment plans and we will start quickly. My treatment options will be at the UR of Rochester Medical Center. Family and friends, I will be ok! I am able to walk the halls for 30 minutes twice a day and still help the folks at Bass Central with social media stuff remotely . A Sense of purpose. Ive spent alot of my life studying and working for Beaver and he has been a godsend as a friend and boss! I’ll try to get back to posting pointless bass videos when I’m over the hurdles and get back to Florida…much love and gratitude to everyone for donations/calls /texts.it makes terrifying a little less and is very special to me. Again I’m sorry for long post and will update as I have more comprehensive information or progress plans
