Corey Nicholson our Brother

Hi my name is Sheri Bickford.

In early September, our brother (Corey Nicholson) was experiencing extreme pain in his back. Thinking he had a slipped disc, he left work and went to the emergency room where tests and a CT scan discovered he had lesion cancer on his spine.

He met with an oncologist and had several pet scans. It was then determined he had stage IV non-small lung cancer that had metastasized to the spine, femur, pelvic and clavicle, as well as other areas. Due to the location of the lesions near his spinal cord, the doctor advised him to immediately begin radiation therapy to keep him from experiencing paralysis.

So far he has endured ten rounds of painful radiation treatment which caused severe burns on his back. Due to the severity of these burns he cannot begin chemotherapy until these wounds have healed.

Corey is unable to work anymore which puts his family in a difficult financial position. His wife works full-time while caring for Corey and helping to raise their 4-year old daughter, while also taking care of their 13 month granddaughter and 8 week old grandson.

My sisters and I would like to start a GoFundMe account to help them with household expenses and medical bills. Anything you can offer, even if it’s just prayers, will be greatly appreciated
