After being married for a year, Frank started experiencing symptoms that worried our family. Over six months, he went through many tests and doctor visits, but we had no answers. We decided to change doctors and hospitals for another opinion, and after several weeks, we received the news that two masses were found in his pelvic area. Frank underwent more tests, CT scans, a PET scan, and then a biopsy. On September 8, 2025, Frank was diagnosed with metastatic adenocarcinoma, stage 4 colorectal cancer. We also received the news that the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes in his abdomen. The good news is that the cancer had not spread to any major organs and it was time to fight!

Frank has been receiving intense treatment, including chemo every two weeks. After each session, he is sent home with a chemo pump for 46 hours. Once the pump is removed, Frank experiences intense fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and neuropathy. Despite these challenges, he continued to work to help support our family. There have been times when he has passed out at work, struggled with vomiting, or barely managed to finish his shift. Recently, his symptoms have worsened, leading to shorter workdays and sometimes being unable to get out of bed.

We are a family of seven (six living in our household). We don’t like asking for help, but we have our backs against the wall and are fighting to beat this disease. Frank is a trooper with a heart of gold, always helping others even at his lowest. Now, we ask for your help. No amount is too small, and anything donated is greatly appreciated. Above all, we know prayer is powerful, and we ask all prayer warriors to pray for our family. We will keep fighting, but we ask you to join us in this fight.
