Please Help Jerry Fight Pancreatic Cancer
Donation protected
Hello everyone - I am trying to raise money to help Jerry fight Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer and to help pay for medical expenses and everyday expenses.
A little about him - Jerry is a 42 year old vibrant hard working man who loves his family, he loves to be active, a wonderful father and an all around great guy as anyone who knows him will tell you.
At the end of 2020 (as if last year wasn't bad enough) Jerry started feeling pain in his abdomen. It started out as a tummy ache, then became worse and worse. At the end of November he scheduled a doctors appointment, which led to an Upper GI Scope, which led to an Endoscopy Ultrasound. The results were devastating. After another test (CT scan), and biopsy, the results came back as Stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer.
They are unable to do surgery as it is invasive in 3 arteries. The goal is for the chemotherapy to shrink the tumor away from the arteries and remove it surgically. If they cannot remove it surgically, then he will have to undergo radiation treatments. Chemotherapy will last from 4-6 months. It is an very aggressive cancer as most people know, which in turn gets an very aggressive chemo.
We do not know what the outcome of this will be. We of course are hoping for the best, praying that God will heal. He is so young, and so vibrant, and otherwise healthy. We are praying he makes it through this. We would be lost without him in our lives
Jerry is unable to work now (he worked construction throwing shingles on roofs here in Santa Rosa, CA) due to the pain, chemotherapy, medication for pain etc. Being unable to work has affected his family, affected his day to day functions, and with no income coming in, it has been devastating.
If you can give, anything at all, please know that each and every dollar is more than appreciated, and that it will help us make it through this. If you are unable to give, please pray or give any feedback to help him, such as words of encouragement, to help him keep his spirits up.
Thank you so very much - ❤️❤️
