Praying for Tony ♥️

Tony is such a nice guy. I am so sorry to hear this news. He also appeared in the Vietnam series TOUR OF DUTY for three years post-WALTONS. His sister has set up a GO FUND ME page if you are interested in helping with his living expenses. Currently he is a roofer and a builder and will be unable to work during the next few months of his treatment. His work ethic is amazing, and he's always quick to help others. Please help him if you are able.

Thank you, Sharon and Ned for posting. I was so sad to hear this. Praying for a complete recovery for Tony. 🙏🩷🙏

Does anyone have any updates on his condition?  Sure hope things are going well

Yesterday someone shared on FB that Tony has had a setback.😔

I've been watching for updates. Unfortunately, our Tony isn't newsworthy enough. They're too busy being concerned about Kim Kardashian's hangnail.

He's the sweetest. Will keep him in prayer.

I am keeping him in my prayers.

Any updates on Tony?  I’m keeping him in my daily prayers and hoping he is doing better. Really like him.

The latest info I could find is from September. Tony is apparently still in treatment, but as an out-patient. His form of cancer requires treatment on both sides of his neck, which impedes his salivary glands, making eating, drinking, and swallowing difficult for him. At the time of the post, he required constant rehydration because he couldn't generate his own saliva. He also, at the time, had good days and bad days: 1 good day followed by 2 bad days.

Sorry, but that's the latest 'personal' update I could find posted by either Tony or his family.

Latest update for Tony - November 15, 2023

From his GoFundMe page: (organised by Pat Coelho)

We are optimistically forging ahead toward brighter days. Tony is finally feeling better - far from back to normal, but certainly heading in the right direction. We are so incredibly grateful to his doctors, caregivers, and especially all of you who have supported and encouraged him along the way.

There was a recent Ebay sale organised by Mary McDonough which raised $710 for Tony's cause. You can see the items on the Ebay page. (Scroll down a bit.)

Another Sale on Ebay earned $455.

Sorry that I didn't find this before the sales ended. I'll watch the GoFundMe page more closely for updates.
