Last year, I was diagnosed with stage three stomach cancer (Adenocarcinoma). The family and I were hopeful that we could beat it with surgery and chemotherapy. After a long few months, I went into remission officially late last year. A few weeks ago, we learned that my cancer has returned and is even more aggressive than before. It has now spread to multiple places and we do not have the same options for treatment. They confirmed last week that we will be moving into palliative care with an anticipated timeline of 6 weeks until the progression has a large effect on me day to day, and 4 months until the cancer wins…
Due to the continued medical care and medication that is associated with the treatment for cancer, it has taken a financial toll on my family and myself. I have been unable to work and help contribute to cover the expense that my family has been covering for the past year. If you could find it in your hearts to help during this difficult time, my family and I would appreciate that more than you will ever know.
It’s a devastating thing to process for me and my family - I originally asked my family to not share, hoping to hide from this reality. But as I have processed this news in the last week, I realized that I need the fullest support system possible for myself and the immediate family & friends. I have also been reflecting on how best to spend the time I have left & the many things I want to experience before this disease has an impact on my day-to-day life. Things like marrying my beautiful fiancé, Mikayla & taking one last large family trip! I want to be able to have a wedding celebration, go on a honeymoon, take a family trip, and so many other things to cross off my bucket list. With limited time to do that, I also recognize the financial cost and impact in this expedited timeline. Any donation will go towards me finalizing and checking off those experiences. If you cannot make a donation, I would truly appreciate it if you could please pray for me and my family.
I appreciate everyone and am beyond grateful to have the amazing support system through this. I know where I am going after this time is over & I have accepted it - I just want to spend my remaining time celebrating and being with those I love!
Thank you all for any support & God bless
