Hampton's Hope: Beating Cancer
Donation protected
Hi! My name is Rylan and this is Hampton, my best friend and doggy brother.
On Friday, July 18th, Hampton was diagnosed with lymphoma, cancer in the lymph nodes/lymphatic system, at only 6 years old.
On Monday, July 21st, my parents took Hampy to see the oncologist where they were given three options to treat him.
- keep him on the steroids he was given on Thursday which would only give him 1-3 months
- A drug to make him comfortable enough to have a good quality of life but would only give him 6-9 months
- chemotherapy/immunotherapy that would essentially cure him
My parents obviously chose the third option and Hampton had his first round of chemo on the 21st. He will have chemo once a week for a month before getting another scan to see how his body is reacting to the treatment. The percentage of it working is unfortunately very low, but Hampton deserves to try it. We really don’t want to lose our fuzzy guy.
This is a very expensive treatment, and while my parents are more than willing to spend the money to try and save Hampton, my dad is also currently going through immunotherapy for kidney cancer that he was diagnosed with back in April.
I am starting this GoFundMe to help my parents pay for Hampton’s treatment. I live halfway across the country and desperately want to help them. I currently don’t have the option to move back to be there to support both my dad and Hampton, but I don’t make enough money at my job to help them out a lot due to my own financial responsibilities.
Please help us save our family’s beloved doggy son/brother/uncle/best friend. He means the absolute world to us.
We thank you for any donation you can make, even if it’s only a dollar. Everything counts and is very, very appreciated.
With love,
Rylan, Hampton, and our family
