Nathaniel- Defeat this evil beast!
Donation protected
Nathaniel is only 19 years old and has been diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma. He went into the hospital with severe headaches and then had surgery to remove as much of the tumor as they could. He will be traveling to Chicago for treatment because nobody local specializes in this type of brain tumor. I know first hand this family has an expensive journey ahead of them and we need to do whatever we can to help them get the best treatment for Nathaniel.
Here is the post from Nathaniel on his facebook. This is a brave and amazing kid!
Do you want the good or the bad news first? I'll get the bad out of the way. It is indeed glioblastoma- grade 4. I found this out Tuesday but waited until today to be 100% certain. It is the number one killing brain tumor and has yet to be totally cured in any case. Now the good news. I was lucky enough to have a very well known doctor and specialist in gbm4 take special interest in my case, and is willing to call all around the country to find the best treatment for me. I could not ask for a better team of doctors in my corner. With them, my amazing support, and God I see no reason why I can't be the first one to defeat this evil beast for good. Thank you again for the support.
