Madison resident Michael Dickinson was recently diagnosed with stage 3 neoplasm carcinoma rectal colon cancer and is receiving treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla. This type of cancer is aggressive and has made its way into his abdominal lymph nodes. His recovery period is expected to take several months, and he is in good spirits despite the long road that is ahead.
Michael and his family are in need of financial assistance for medical bills and the many overnight stays in Jacksonville that will be required, plus the fact that Michael is unable to work during this process. They have set a goal of $10,000 to help offset these expenses. The family has a gofundme page as well as an account at Madison County Community Bank. Please consider giving to help the Dickinsons through this difficult time.
