RIP JUSTIN SAVITT 9/15/19: Amist all the tragedy in our beautiful county our family is once again embarking on a battle we unfortunately know far too well. I know it's hard to be in someone else's shoes. How would you tell your children who have lived in a constant state of crisis that this is it? That dad is sick, again. We have been running and fighting a war since this began 5 years ago. Our resources are depleted and our options are nearly exhausted. I know we are not alone. I know we are not the first, or the last. I feel like we are facing the beginning of the end and my resilient heart is broken. Today (11/14/18) doctors found that Justin does in fact have two large masses in his lung. The professional from UC Davis giving this news had to step out of the room to compose himself. One is the size of a baseball and the other a golf ball. It is stage 4. It is not operable. There are 3 options... One clinical trial with the drug he was taking a few months ago but in a new way. The other treatment option is one that has already destroyed so much of Justin's body and will most likely buy time but not change the inevitable. I know we have asked for help before and I know that right now there is not enough to go around. The last is a ground floor trial with no information related to risks, etc. What I dont know is how we are going to make it from here. We dont have money for the treatment copays and many appointments we are about to face. Justin has to go to Davis every 2 weeks for infusions. What about end of life expenses? Our credit is gone after mounds of medical expenses. I cant imagine a world where my children will not have their father. I want to scream and cry. I want to fight but I cant. I want to fix this but it's not up to me, or Justin. So our family is asking for help. Help to pay medical expenses, help to keep some normalcy for our boys, help with the inevitable. Please donate if you can and share. If you cant donate start a team at work to raise money. Anything and everything helps as we embark on yet another fight... a fight that may not end well but hopefully we can soften the blow for the kids. Pray for a miracle because we truly need one.
