Help Chris Battle Stage 4 Small Cell Lung Cancer

Recently, Chris was diagnosed with stage 4 small cell lung cancer that metastasized to the pituitary gland in the brain. The nightmare began a few weeks back when Chris was rushed to the emergency room with excruciating pain in his eye. Scans picked up the tumors and he was admitted into Allegheny General to undergo a biopsy that would identify the stage of the lung cancer. Needless to say, this was devastating to all who know and love him, but, especially to his wife of 37 years, Emily. She and Chris vow to beat this with everything they have.

They have been together since age 14 and married at 21, and have a son named C.J. Chris has served as a volunteer fire fighter for the City of New Kensington – Parnassus 56-2 and is also employed as a security guard, but he doesn’t have medical insurance and isn’t able to work now due to this invasive disease. One can only imagine the financial burdens they will face with medical bills, prescription costs and traveling expenses as he undergoes intense chemotherapy and radiation.

Will you find it in your heart to help these incredible people? They are good people who have endured and surpassed many struggles. However, this is one that will require a lot of support. Please help us alleviate some of the stress they face and please pray for them at every opportunity.

Thank you and God bless you all.
