In October of 2024, I recieved an unexpected diagnosis of Stage 3 Testicular Cancer. The first step of the treatment was surgery to remove the tumor, which was a success. However, the tumor was not caught early enough. The cancer had spread to the lymph nodes in my abdomen and chest.

Despite all the "bad news", the cancer that I have has a very high cure rate. Despite knowing I’m going to beat this! I am having a financial battle as I kick this cancers butt.

I am hoping for this to be done by the end of July/August with the most optimistic prognosis.

I have been in and out of the hospital the past month 3 times, including bowel bleeds and not having any white blood cells to fight off immunity, and other complications.

The treatment since October has put a huge financial strain that is only adding up, this is despite the fact, I have the very best insurance. On top of 18,000 in medical bills, it has caused me to miss work quite a bit.

I am asking for some external support to help lessen this financial burden and transition back into health and this new chapter in my life.

Anything would help, but I plan on paying your kindness forward as soon as I heal.

Thank you for all the support I have already recieved and I plan on putting up weekly updates.

Best in health and God Bless,
