Beauford my Brain tumor
Donation protected
My Name is Chadwick. I am 30 years old and live in Portland Oregon. On July 1st I was diagnosed with an Brain Tumor (Acoustic Neuroma). This tumor attaches to the auditory nerve and comenses to destroy the hearing in the affect auditory cannal. After many doctors apointments, MRI and blood work I went to see a neuro surgeon to schedule the removal of Beauford (My Tumor) on Monday September 14th at 7:30am. The hearing in my right ear went from 100% to 12% since the first symptoms in January. The damage is sadly permanent. It will be an eight hour invasive open brain surgery to remove Beauford with a 6 week recovery period (One week in ICU). With so many doctors appointments, I had to use much of my sick leave. Even with insurance the cost of the surgery, the Cochlear implant and not working for 6 weeks has and will become overwhelming. Trying to cope with loosing the hearing that you have had your entire life has been a real struggle. Any and all assistance would be so greatly welcomed and appreciated to help offset the cost of my surgery and implant. Thank you for making a difference!
