Help Parker Susmann and his Family
Donation protected
Parker was diagnosed on February 5th with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. As many of you know, Parker is an incredible young man that has his whole life ahead of him to live. We are here to help him and his family raise some money with all of the medical expenses that will be coming in.
His dad Bill had to stop working to help his family, Bill owns his own business so when he is not working, there is no income. Parker is surrounded by his parents, girlfriend and friends and family at this time. Anything you can give, would be super appreciated!
From Parker's Mom:
It breaks my heart to say that on Feb 5th our sweet, funny and smart son Parker was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). When your child is diagnosed with cancer, it's like being thrown into a tornado with no way out.
It all started in late November after Thanksgiving. Parker had noticed some bumps on his head which we chalked up to the stress of studying and cramming for finals at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where he is in his second year as a Mechanical Engineer major.
After finals were over and a family vacation to Hawaii in late December, the bumps had not gone away and had
gotten worse. After a few weeks of calls and begging I was finally able to get Parker an appointment with a dermatologist in Slo on January 17th. At the appointment they biopsied two of the now very large bumps on his head. On January 24th (all alone) in SLO he went to get his stitches removed and the results of the biopsies. What my sweet boy was about to be told had never entered our minds for a split second, he was told “Cancer”!
With the help and persistence of a friend, we were able to get an appointment with an Oncologist on Feb 3. Within 16 hours of that appointment we were at Stanford, where we got our diagnosis on the 5th.
Parker is currently still at Stanford receiving his Chemotherapy. We are hopeful we will be home in early
March, where he will hopefully be able to continue his treatments in Monterey for the next 6 Months.
