Hello everyone. As some of you who know me know my 6 year old Baby boy Jax was diagnosed with lymphoma in the last week. I have been doing everything i can with help from my great friend Daryl to get him better but his medical expenses have reached an astronomical amount and I need help. I have never in my life asked for money or anything from anyone but for my boy Jax I am asking. Jax's story starts out with my friend Daryl ,who runs a boxer rescue program in Newport Ca, getting a call that a boxer was in a backyard and was covered with ticks. Daryl picked him up and brought him to the vet and he had over 100 ticks on him and had been badly neglected. Daryl brought Jax back to perfect health at his own expense and found a home for Jax with a nice couple. Sadly though that couple soon got divorced and they needed to give Jax back to Daryl. Jax then stayed at the animal hospital for several weeks until I found an ad Daryl had posted and I went to meet him. He was very thin due to depression of being at the hospital but he was one of the most beautiful boxers I had ever seen. I agreed to adopt him and took him home later that week. Funny enough Jax and I didn't get along at first. He didn't really like me and whenever I was around he would avoid me and was not affectionate. Then one day several weeks later I came home from a long day and was laying on the floor relaxing and Jax came over to me and laid down next to me with his head on my chest. From that day forward we had a bond like nothing else. We did everything together from taking road trips and attending car shows and I brought him everywhere with me. He is a big boy so I would take the passenger seat out of most of my cars and make a bed for him so he could be comfortable. He is my best friend and my bond with him is like nothing I've ever felt. We have been through soo much together good and bad times and he has truly made my life amazing since the day he laid down next to me. With his diagnosis he was only given 6 months due to a 10cm mass found in his chest that is not able to be removed through surgery. And this timeline was given based on an aggressive 16 count treatment of chemo. I have chosen to not due such an aggressive regiment because I want him to have the best quality of life he can while he is still here. He spent over a week in the hospital and is now on tri-weekly chemo treatment and even with substantial help from my friend Daryl as well as what I have contributed as well his bills continue to rise. If anyone is able to help me with my boy it would be so gratefully appreciated. I only wish to try to recover partially what I have spent so far that was beyond what I should have. Anything else I receive will be going to Daryl to support his boxer rescue and help any other dogs that need saving to give them a chance to have the full life like what Jax has had with me in such a short time. I know this was a long message and I appreciate everything everyone has said and done for me and for taking the time to read this. Thank you everyone soo much if anything just please keep my Jax in your thoughts. He means everything to me and I just can't imagine losing him or him being in pain.
