Help Matt & Trish Beam Beat his Cancer

Hi, my name is Brian Taylor and I am fundraising for my sister Trish and my brother-in-law Matt.

It was unfortunately discovered in the last couple of weeks that Matt has a mass on his pancreas that turned out to be cancerous. The symptoms leading up to this had already caused Matt to miss a significant amount of time from work along with some trips to the hospital. The silver lining is that the mass is believed to be small and discovered in the early stages. This is welcome news. They will be using Fox Chase Cancer Center for Matt's treatment and care. We are fortunate to live in an area with access to some of the best medical centers in the world. At this point, it is anticipated that Matt will go through 4-8 weeks of chemotherapy with surgery to follow. We don't yet know the timeline of when everything will take place or the exact treatment protocol as Fox Chase is still in the discovery phase. But it appears chemo may not start until later this month and once surgery occurs, it is a 6-8 week recovery time. So all told, the impact of all this is possibly 6+ months.

No one deserves cancer and certainly, my brother-in-law Matt does not deserve it, nor does their family deserve to go through it. Matt would never ask anyone for money, which is why I am asking for him. Lost income will be significant for the family with Matt's time away and Tricia's need to take time off for trips to doctors. And of course, medical bills will accumulate. My goal is to provide enough financial support to help recoup lost income and pay monthly expenses and medical bills over the coming months. With this help, they can focus on Matt getting better and getting back to work.

I know the Beam family will be eternally grateful for your support and your prayers.

Respectfully,

Brian
