Donations of Love

A few days ago, the crowd funding site to help out with Dan's recovery after surgery went live, at YouCaring: https://www.youcaring.com/danandmaggiedumouchel-839730

Already, in only a few days, we've seen over $15,000 in donations! Dan and his family are just floored by the generosity of his friends, family and coworkers. What an outpouring of love! We thank you so, so much.

We'll do proper thank you's to everyone individually post-surgery, when Dan and Maggie have time to cuddle (properly propped up on some pillows on the bed in front of the AC) and go through all the notes and donations.

Again, we thank you for however you are able to help us out - your thoughts and well wishes, prayers, emails and notes and calls, food delivery and gift cards, or cash donation - each act of love is amazing and Dan is so thankful to have such wonderful, caring people in his and his family's lives.

Thank you!

The ultrasound led to a CT Scan on May 16, which led to emergency phone calls mid-movie, an asap appointment May 17, and the diagnoses of kidney cancer. On May 19, the first specialist Dan saw, a urologist, better explained what was happening. Dan has an 11cm cancerous tumor on his right kidney, growing through a renal vein and into the inferior vena cava, growing as a thrombus  up toward his heart. It has also begun to metastasize to his liver. Surgery is the first and only option at this point. Surgery will include a hepatobiliary specialist (liver), urologist (kidney), a cardi...
