Brandon WILL beat this!

These are very difficult times for everyone right now. We first and foremost hope you and your families are staying safe. Unfortunately, our family is faced with additional challenges. My older brother, Brandon, was just diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Brandon will begin chemo/radiation for the next 4-6 weeks before having surgery to remove the tumor. We are praying the chemo/radiation will help shrink that. When he has surgery, the plan is to remove his esophagus and upper part of stomach. They will then stretch his stomach to create a new esophagus. It's amazing what they can do in the medical field and for that we are thankful. Brandon is the strong, optimistic one through all this. He is extremely devoted to his alma mater, St. Ignatius, and is a Bobcat and Marine for life. He has a heart of gold and brings a smile to everyone's face, especially with his dance moves! He never wants to ask for help. However, the medical bills are already pouring in and it has all just begun. We want to help alleviate some of the worry of everyday finances. Again, we know it is difficult at this time. If you are unable to contribute financially, we ask you to keep Brandon in your thoughts and prayers. I will continue to update this page with his progress. He knows he has an army behind him and appreciates every single person in his life. Thank you all and stay safe during this pandemic! God Bless.
