ETX Man with Cancer Looking for Extra Work to Pay Medical Bills

What would you do if you got hit with those three words, you have cancer? Unfortunately, that is what one Tyler, Texas resident just got smacked with and he was originally told that his insurance would pay for 100% of his treatment. Well, that is not the truth as they will only be covering 60% of the costs. But this proud resident of Texas isn’t looking for a handout, he wants to find additional work to pay for these costs.

The man's name is Brent MWeaver and he was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Brent is currently employed in Tyler with Viking Ready Mix but with the huge medical expenses he is looking for extra work to pay for everything.
