Jason Heffner hasn't added a story.
Hi, I'm Jason Heffner. I beat Colon Cancer for the second time and am struggling with surgical complications from Whipple procedure, chronic pancreatic leak, and liver stent/tubes.
I am not working and must humbly ask for help! I need to keep my phone on, car insurance to get to appts and shopping needs. This has been a long slow road - I am grateful for any and all support!
In 2001, at the age of 21, I had colon cancer and went through surgery and chemotherapy. In 2012, another tumor grew much larger than the one before. I didn't have insurance so it was caught late, the colon cancer tumor had spread to my small intestine.
In November 2012, I underwent the Whipple Procedure and Colon Resection: they removed my gall bladder, half my pancreas, a third of my small intestine, and a third of my large intestine, and reconnected the remaining organs. I have several surgical complications.
I am still struggling to make ends meet as I continue medical care to get better. My chronic pancreatic leak causes pain and pancreatitus. The connection between my liver and small intestine closed up last year so I was carrying around bags of fluid connected to tubes in my abdomen. I experience pain and digestive issues.
I need all the help I can get until I am well enough to work. I am grateful for all the support and help and love. God Bless You, and Thank You!
Love You, Mean It!!!!
Jason
(Note: Feb 2014 I am currently Cancer free- my last imaging looked clear, & my next colonoscopy is in a few weeks so I hope I'm in the clear!)
