Help Brian Beat Stage 4 Cancer

Donation protected
The last thing a healthy 28-year-old thinks they will be worrying about is cancer, but that has now become Brian’s reality…

February 9th, 2021 Brian was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. It all started when he noticed a swollen lymph node in early January. He had the lymph node biopsied on January 26th at UPMC Hamot hospital. The pathology report came back positive for lymphoma. From there he has multiple CT scans, sonograms of his neck, PET scans, chest x-rays, and blood work. The medical bills are already starting to pile up and Brian has not even started treatment. Brian will be starting chemotherapy on Thursday, February 18th, 2021. His treatments will be here in Erie, but any scans, potential hospitalizations and follow up appointments will be done in Pittsburgh at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center and UPMC Shadyside Hospital. Brian recently got married to his longtime girlfriend, Jenn in September of 2020 but was unable to have a wedding or reception due to COVID-19. Now starting off 2021, Brian is having to deal with cancer in the middle of a pandemic, along with mortgage payments, and a car payment. The last thing he should have to worry about currently is how is he going to afford all his medical bills. Please help Brian fight this battle of stage 4 cancer and make his life just a little bit easier. Our goal for this fundraiser is $20,000. This will help with medical bills and travel expenses as Brian and Jenn embark on this journey to beat cancer. Brian and Jenn will be updating immediate family, but I will be updating on here to let everyone know any major updates. Even if you are unable to donate, please just share this go fund me and pray for Brian’s recovery.

Thank you in advance for all the love and support!
