Mayor Todd Corneil of Medora ND

Greetings ! My name is Troy Geiszler from Dickinson, ND. Last summer, my best friend,

Todd Corneil (pictured on the left) was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Acinic Cell Carcinoma that originated in the Salivary Gland. The cancer was diagnosed stage 4. In August he underwent surgery at Mayo Clinic to remove his right jaw and had a bone grafted from his right leg to replace it. He recovered and underwent radiation down at Mayo from Late September to Early November. Mayo was hopeful that they had gotten everything. He returned 3 months later in Early February to Mayo for his follow up and it was discovered that the cancer had continued to metastasize and was now in his left jaw and had spread to other areas of his body. The plan was now to try to use chemotherapy treatment to slow the spread of the cancer. Todd has finished his first round of chemotherapy and we are hopeful that it is working. He will find out in early May where he is at with his progress. Todd has incurred many travel- related and medical expenses during this journey going back and forth to Mayo in Rochester, MN from Medora, ND. Todd is only 57 years old and we are all hoping the chemotherapy will extend his time with us. Any donation of any amount would be greatly appreciated. Please pray for him !
