David Taylor Castleman's Disease Medical Expenses

Hello Everyone. My name is Stephanie Timiney and I have created this fundraiser on behalf of my brother-in-law David Taylor. In July of 2021 David was diagnosed with idiopathic multi-centric Castleman's Disease (iMCD). Castleman's Disease is a very rare disorder of they lymph nodes, similar to lymphoma, but it is not a cancer. The general prognosis/survival rate for iMCD is poor with a survival rate of 65% at 5 years and approximately 60% die within 10 years. This diagnosis has been devastating for his wife, Clarissa, and their 10 year old son, Hunter. David is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment and has received 4 out of his 8 planned rounds of treatment. While he is able to receive his chemotherapy locally in Texas, he has to travel to UAMS in Little Rock, Arkansas for his CT and PET scans as well as his follow up visits with his specialist. While the family does have insurance, the loss of income as well as insurance deductibles have made things financially difficult for their family. Any financial support you can provide would be greatly appreciated and if you cannot support financially we gratefully accept prayers as well. All financial donations made through GoFundMe go directly to their family. If you would like more information about Castleman's Disease please visit cdcn.org. Thank you all and God Bless.
