My brother-in-law, Travis, was only 29 when he was first diagnosed with cancer in 2007. He had to undergo surgery, two rounds of chemotherapy, and acquired extensive debt at MD Anderson, but was lucky to live in a city that has the greatest cancer treatment facility in the world.

In 2014, Travis married my sister, Amanda, and later that year they had my precious nephew, Lane William, that was a miracle baby and is the greatest joy in their lives. All of Travis' bloodwork and testing had come back normal each year following his treatment, and they were so happy and excited to raise a family.

In August, Travis went to MD Anderson after experiencing pain, and 2 tumors were discovered. Another surgery was scheduled right away, and we were all thankful that the cancer had not spread, and hopeful that surgery would be enough to treat him. Last week, it was discovered that the cancer has now spread into Travis' lymph nodes and he will require chemotherapy starting immediately. Travis will get 5 days of chemo at MD Anderson, go home for 2 weeks, and repeat this cycle 4 times.

Aside from the huge fears and emotional strain this has put on their new family, Travis is not going to be able to work at the small business he owns for a few months. Amanda stays home with Lane, who will be a year old on October 27, and the medical bills are already flooding in. If you can give any amount, it would be greatly appreciated. And more importantly, please pray for Travis' health and healing. He will kick cancer's ass!!!
