Chris's Journey

Chris's battle started with phantom smells and occasional nausea, which quickly escalated to more severe symptoms. After initial examinations and scans, doctors identified a tumor, leading to surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN on August 18th. The surgery was successful, with doctors removing 90% of the tumor as planned.
Following surgery, Chris underwent 6 weeks of radiation and 7 weeks of chemotherapy.

While we celebrated the end of his radiation treatments on Halloween of 2023, recent scans have unfortunately revealed two new small growths.

Current Situation

As of November 6, 2024, Chris is facing new challenges:
He was admitted to the emergency room in Burnsville due to persistent abdominal and stomach pain.

Doctors discovered blood clots in his lower left abdomen and lungs, which are currently being treated in the hospital. He will be going to a transitional care unit until the doctors think he is strong enough for another chemo treatment.

How You Can Help

These ongoing medical procedures, combined with the recent hospitalization and decline in Chris’s health, are placing a significant financial and emotional burden on Chris and his family.

Your donations will directly contribute to:
  • House payments
  • House and yard maintenance
  • Transition Care Unit Expenses
  • Medical Treatment Expenses
  • Home Care Services

Our Goal

We're aiming to raise money to help alleviate the financial stress on Chris and his family during this difficult time. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference in Chris's fight against cancer.

Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and support. Together, we can help Chris focus on his recovery and give him the best chance at beating this disease.
