Kris Coffin, a member of
The Crossings Church, went to the doctor with what he
thought was the flu, but within days he got the devastating
news that he had stage 3 Colon Cancer. Kris is 30 years old
and has two young children. Kris is in business for himself
but with having to take chemotherapy he is unable to work.
We want to do everything that we can to help in this time
of hurt.

Kris was diagnosed with Colon Cancer about two
months ago. He had surgery on Feb. 24th at Missouri Baptist Medical
Center and the surgeon removed a foot and a half of his colon. Leading
up to the surgery was long and frustarting. Finally, he got some
answers after four months of extreme abdominal pain. I found out
it was cancerous two days before his surgery, the surgeon then told
him that he would have to have a port put in his chest in order
to receive the treatment. About a month later the same surgeon that
took out part of his colon tried to put the port in. While he was
putting the port in, the surgeon accidently punctured his left lung.
So a different surgeon put the port in and he also had a chest tube
in for about three days. He receives chemo once every two weeks,
the chemo will be for six months. Kris does believe that God has
total control of his life and that he is cancer free as of right
now. With the tumor being taken out he has a 60% chance of being
cancer free already. With the chemo he has a 98% chance of surving
this. Kris believes God will give him the strength to get through
this and he has the full support from our church, family, and friends.
Thank you, Kris Coffin
