Jesse fighting Cancer - the sequel

"Well, now, everything dies, baby, that's a fact

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back"

Atlantic City by Bruce Springsteen

In 2017, I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer. After surgery and two types of chemo, I have been cancer-free for the past 4 years. However, after a bad case of anemia and having to go to the hospital for a blood transfusion, I've been diagnosed with a Gastrointestinal stromal tumor that needs to be removed. That's right, cancer again!

The surgery is scheduled for 5/24 and I'll be out of work for 4 to 6 weeks. Thoughts and prayers are very much appreciated. If you have the ability to give financial assistance, that would also be greatly appreciated. The money will be used to pay for medical copays and to cover monthly expenses while I'm off work recovering from the surgery.

"In the days of despair you can grow hard

Till you close your mind and empty your heart

If you find yourself staring in the abyss

Hold tight to your loved ones and remember this

This shield will protect your sacred heart

This sword will defend from what comes in the dark

Should you grow weary on the battlefield

Do not despair our love is real"

This is your Sword by Bruce Springsteen
