PATH Variable Changed By Accident

I am a super newb when it comes to this so take it easy on me. I recently ran a commend when installing cygwin to try and get python to run properly. The command I ran was:

echo "PATH=\$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Python36" >> .bash_profile

Afterwards I ran this command as well: 

PATH=\$PATH:/usr/bin/home

Now every time I start up Cygwin, I get the following information to popup at the top:

-bash: /home/Chris/.bash_profile: line 45: syntax error near unexpected token `'
-bash: /home/Chris/.bash_profile: line 45: `=PATH=//usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/iCLS Client:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Intel/iCS Client:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/Sstem32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/Proram Files (x86)/NVIDIA Corporation/PhysX/Common:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)Intel/Intel(R) Management Engine Components/DAL:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/IntelIntel(R) Management Engine Components/DAL:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/IntelIntel(R) Management Engine Components/IPT:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Intel/IntelR) Management Engine Components/IPT:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Intel/WiFi/bin:/cgdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/Intel/WirelessCommon:/cygdrive/c/Users/Chri/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps:/cygdrive/c/Users/Chris/AppData/Local/atombin:/cugdrive/c/Python36'

I clearly messed something up, any help would be amazing.

Your bash_profile should contain this: 

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/home

Note the \ was removed. You can append your other paths to the above line.
