Chuck Zinzer

It is never easy to ask for assistance, however in times of trouble it’s all that is left.  My niece’s husband of only 2 years is in a fight for not only his life but the life he and Lindsey dreamed of since they had gotten married.  The family understand it will take a village to help them through this. This fight will prove to be a long hard fight, missing out on work, missing out on his income.  We as family and friends can help just a little.  Every dollar, every gift of time or even a meal bought or delivered  to them could help out a lot. As a Family we also are requesting that you please add Chuck and his family to your prayer list.

This is Chuck’s journey so far:

Earlier this year he got the diagnosis of stage 3 Esophageal cancer and along with doctors, every one of us was very hopeful that with chemotherapy and radiation would cure Chuck.  These positive vibes flew through the whole 6 weeks of treatment.  In September he was supposed to have surgery to remove the tumor.  After a little more than half the expected surgery time the surgeon gave us the not so good news. 

The surgeon have found out the tumor has expanded into the omentum of the stomach and the area was too big for the surgery to remove.  He is now at stage 4 cancer and they say that there is no cure but with treatment, it will prolong Chuck’s life. We have high hopes that the chemo will work and what they say can’t be right. 

Together with Chuck’s wife Lindsey they are working really hard to keep some kind of normalcy for the sake of their son. Chuck will start Chemotherapy for the second round on Monday. This fight is not over until it’s over.

Thanks in advance for reading and please know there is no amount to small.  #Chuckstrong #Cancersucks
