Help Stephen beat the family's biggest loss
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Stephen, and I was diagnosed with a rare form of Non-Hodgkins lymphoma earlier this year.
I'm just asking for money to help me continue to pay bills and everything else that comes along with living.
15 years ago my family and I had to watch my older brother endure months of tests, exploratory surgeries to hardly even find a diagnosis. Slowly running him down over the last couple years of his life. Now I find myself in a similar situation with the same cancer. Nk/T-Cell lymphoma extranodal nasal type, to be exact. Generally found in the nose, hence the name, and with my honker, you'd think that's where they found it but nope! It started on a visit to my sister's home, where I saw what looked like a little blood blister on my foot and wasn't quite sure what it could be. After a month of it slowly getting worse and basic antibiotics doing nothing, my father growing concerned by what he had already seen, demanded a biopsy. A surprisingly quick biopsy came back and the reality sunk in. By this time, my foot had another wound that had started to open, and the original one left me using a walker everywhere and unable to work my delivery driver job.
I received six rounds of chemo over the past six months, which has been rough, but I'm happy to say I'm in remission and doing reasonably well!
You think everything would be over, right? Unfortunately, it's not that easy; this lymphoma is a little more aggressive than that and requires a bone marrow transplant if I want to see life in 5+ years. This process requires a month-long hospital stay and a year or more of recovery where I cannot work.
