Nick Anzalone Cancer Recovery Support

 We are heartbroken and devastated by this sudden diagnosis of cancer.

Nick was working full time to support his family. There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for his 1 and 2 year old daughters Ava and Allison. As well as girlfriend Kayla who is expecting their first son together this April. In late November Nick fell ill which brought him to the emergency room. After a diagnosis of severe anemia, blood transfusions, multiple days spent in the hospital, and plenty of tests, at 29 years old Nick was diagnosed with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Which is a rare and shocking form of cancer in someone his age. There are only 23 to 24 thousand new cases yearly. Nick was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Massachusetts, where he was prepared and sent in for surgery. they removed part of his small intestine and had to make multiple external tubes going into his stomach to be used post-op for feeding, draining, and a bile tube to help with recovery of his intestines. these same tubes are coming home with him so he can finish recovery at home with his family. Following surgery, he now is unable to eat and requires a g-tube (feeding tube) for nutrition, and has a lengthy recovery ahead of him. Due to not being insured at the time of diagnosis he is now responsible for extremely expensive medical bills and with these bills, the holidays coming up, being unable to work, he is feeling overwhelmed and defeated. Any donation is greatly appreciated. Any money received from this fundraiser will go directly toward medical costs and primary bills needed to live until returning to work. If you cannot donate please pray for a complete recovery from this horrible diagnosis. Thank you so much to all the great nurses, DR's, and medical staff who have taken care of Nick during the hardest moments of his and his family's lives, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
