Hia, My name is Gabriel, I will try to keep this simple and articulate. I’m a 24 year old guy just trying to make it one day at a time.
I’ve been frequently bouncing around medical care concerning my back pain. After executing a good care plan for my back, something was still off. I still continued having issues. Many tests, scans, and later a second bone biopsy, I’ve been diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma- a type of cancer. The good news is I’ve been told it’s treatable and I will soon receive chemo. I am making this post as I would like to be in your prayers to tolerate the therapy well and for the loss of my curly red hair. I don’t want anything sad and squishy, we are all staying positive so everyone else who sees this post should stay positive to.
I am optimistic and I have faith everything will go smoothly.
I made this GoFundMe to help with my medical bills and transportation.
I have already used my savings and I currently owe 1,500$ in bills directly relating to the start of my treatment.
I haven’t started Chemotherapy yet but I will start Oct 3 after having a port placed on Oct 2.
The bills from this are expected to grow exponentially.
I am planning to work as much as I can during this time but from what I’ve been told Chemo will not be forgiving.
My understanding is that I will be having Chemo for at least 6 months.
Even If you aren’t able to help financially please just share this and get it out there. I am eternally grateful and I wish everyone the best day possible!
