Help Aaron Fight Stage-4 Cancer!!

Donation protected
My name is Nicole and my wonderful husband Aaron is 38. We have three beautiful children: Gabriel 4, Caleb 3, and Asher 5 months old.

Aaron was struggling with severe back pain for approximately 12 weeks - visiting a chiropractor. He was finally told that nothing more could be done to releave his pain. From Thanksgiving 2014 until that point he had lost 32 pounds. The chiropractor asked that Aaron go in for an MRI. The MRI took place on Monday, Feb 9, 2015 - it disclosed bone lesions throughout various parts of Aaron's body. His L4-L5 disc slipped to the side causing the nerve root to be pinched resulting in poor control over his right leg. A CT scan taken on Thurs. 2015 revealed a startling diagnosis - stage 4 cancer: multiple small tumors throughout the brain, multiple bone mets throughout the cervical spine, thoracic spine, ribs, right and ledft iliac, acrum with adrenal gland mets and a 3 cm mass in the right lower lobe of the lung.

Everyone one went into immediate overdrive and Aaron was admitted into St. Francis Hospital on Fri. Feb. 13th.  On Mon. Feb 16th, a biopsy of the lung mass was performed to see if this was the primary tumor. We stood on the Word of the LORD in Psalm 91, as well as, Psalm 107:20 "He sends forth His Word and heals them and rescue them from the pit and destruction. and Psalm 118:17, Aaron shall not die, but live, and shall declare the works and recount the illustrious acts of the LORD. This whole journey went shockingly fast. Also, we did not have insurance until the 1st of March.... the entire situation did not look good.

BUT...since then....Medicaid has agreed to cover most of the medical bills; including the ER, CT scan, hospital stay, prescriptions, 10 days of radiation and Aaron's care at the Tulsa Cancer Institute which continues indefinitely. 

The diagnosis to date is Adencarcinoma. This cancer is a muted gene that is treatable with a stage 3 clinical trial pill, which costs around $7,000 per month.

Thank God these bills are being taken care of and due to your loving generosity our personal bills at this time are being met as well - we thank You from the bottom of our heart for helping to rid us of this added stress. We still need income as Aaron does not make any money while not working - and at this time - he is unable to work. He is slowly regaining muscle tone in his legs since losing a total of 55 lbs and is still battling nausea & keeping food down.
We thank all of you for coming alongside of us during this journey and will continue to keep you updated when new results take place. God Bless You and to God be ALL glory.
