Will's fight against a rare cancer.
Donation protected
My wonderful Husband, an amazing father to 2 little boys; who is a cancer survivor of 12 years has been newly diagnosed with a rare form, an aggressive type of cancer.
At age 27, he was diagnosed with late stage Nasopharyngeal Cancer. He underwent aggressive Chemo & Radiation Therapy for 6 months, and beat it. He's been cancer-free for almost 13 years, though he's been enduring many difficult side effects throughout the years from Chemo and Radiation.
His side effects includes loss of saliva, difficulty eating, nerve damage, and loss of hearing.
On 7/17/2015, he was faced with one of the most terrifying side effect that none of us want to hear. He was diagnosed with Osteogenic Sarcoma (high grade), at the base of his skull. This is unfortunately a side effect from radiation therapy. This is a radiation-induced type of Bone Cancer. A rather large and aggressive tumor growing at base of his skull, that need to be treated ASAP with intensive Chemo and Surgery.
Unfortunately for him, he was laid off from his full-time job late last year and has been in the process of searching for a new job. Now he has to put his job search on hold and focus on his treatment. As for me, working full-time will not be a choice at this critical time. There will be tremendous amount of expenses we have to face each day such as out of pocket medical expenses, cost of food, cost of transportation to & from treatment and nonetheless, 2 lovely boys to to care for.
At this time, we are hoping to get any kind of help so Will can stay focused to fight on. A little bit goes a long way.
Battle begins on 8/4/15, with first round of Chemotherapy.
Let's wish Will the best of luck and help him beat this nasty cancer. He's a warrior and I know he'll win this battle!
