Rob Vienneau & Jess need our support!Cancer won!

Hi, I’m Peter and I am hoping to reach out to my family, friends and even strangers to ask for your help for my brother Rob.

 

In the late summer of 2019 Rob (34yrs old) went to the Dr concerned about an odd mole on his shoulder. Our worst fears quickly came true. Rob was diagnosed with a very aggressive Nodular Melanoma that was spreading quickly. Not the news you want to hear when he is expecting his first child in June.

 

This cancer was spreading to his lymph nodes and needed to be fought fast and hard.

Rob underwent surgery in January 2020 to remove the cancerous mole and all that they could physically take out of him. Followed up by aggressive Chemo and radiation to attack what they couldn’t remove. This was an incredibly hard battle for him. Months of recovery from the surgery mixed with the chemo/radiation treatment and medications left him feeling terribly ill on top of it all.

 

In June 2020, Jess and Rob welcomed Savannah into the world!

 

Rob was recovering well from everything he had been going through. All tests were coming back with good news. Although the cancer did get into his lymph nodes, the treatments were successful and had worked to rid him of this monster.

 

Fast forward to spring of 2021 and Rob is doing great. Treatments have finished, all scans and tests are clean and the Dr starts to reduce his Chemo pills to prep him for coming off them completely. By June he had wrapped up ALL treatment and meds and was doing great with the exception of some lingering side effects from the meds that he was told would go away eventually. With a clean bill of health and off of all medications and treatments Rob and Jess decided to add to their beautiful little family and found out they were expecting a 2nd little girl. She will be born early in 2022.

 

Here’s where Robs story takes a tragic twist.

 

Recently, Rob has not been feeling well. Nauseated, vomiting,headaches and pain in back and chest. After multiple 10hr plus, visits to the emergency room, bloodwork, scans etc once again the worst is confirmed. The monster was back with a vengeance and has spread to his brain and chest.

 

As of today Rob has had his license medically taken from him and is no longer allowed to drive which also means he cannot work since driving is needed for his job.

 

Rob needs our help! Life doesn’t stop just because you got a bad deal. Bills still need to be paid.

I am asking, No I am begging for your  help and support for my little brother. It doesn’t have to be just money to this Gofundme. New Born and toddler supplies(diapers, wipes), gift cards etc. Everything helps. 

 

At this time we are uncertain as to the outcome of Robs diagnoses as he now faces many doctor visits, tests and scans to determine where we go from here. I will be providing updates regularly. Our prayers are needed.

 

Please help ease some of the burden off of this great young man and his beautiful young family.

 

Thank you.
