An MRI at the end of May revealed that I have a half inch meningioma tumor growing close to major arteries and my brain stem at the bottom of my skull. It is a fast growing tumor that has to be stopped before it reaches my brain stem and ends my ability to function. A fast growing tumor like this is often cancerous. I went through 28 consecutive days of radiation treatments during the summer to pinpoint this tumor and stop it from growing. An MRI in November showed no growth, but I have been suffering reactions to the radiation including swelling which has caused nausea and extreme fatigue. I have been taking numerous steroids to remedy this and spent a day in the hospital ER on 2/4/26. Due to the missionary nature of my pastoral ministry in the poorest part of the second poorest zip code in South Carolina, I have needed some financial aid to pay the bills and keep going. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Please remember me and my family in prayer.
