Help Caden Jackson fight a rare cancer
Donation protected
Caden Jackson is a 25 year old young man who has the sweetest personality and kindest heart of any young person we know. He was treated for months for a knot that developed behind his left ear as an ear infection.
At first the doctors felt it was nothing to be concerned about due to his age and the location of the mass. After months of scans and inconclusive tests it was confirmed a tumor, that needed to be removed. On October 14, 2020, a 1-2 hour surgery turned into a 5 hour surgery to remove the tumor from his Parotid gland.
Following inconclusive results the tumor was sent to MD Anderson, Houston for review, on November 6, 2020 Caden was diagnosed with Oncocytic Carcinoma. Only 17 people worldwide have been diagnosed with this type of cancer and Caden is the youngest patient to date.
Caden will be traveling from Tennessee to Houston, Texas on November 29, 2020 to start his long battle with this terrible disease. Little is known about the prognosis and treatment of this rare cancer. Due to looming chemo and radiation Caden is unable to return to work and has been refused unemployment. Insurance companies have repeatedly denied claims, all of which have left him with a large amount of unpaid medical bills and expenses, including upcoming travel and the normal everyday life expenses we all incur.
Imagine being 25 years old, no income, looming medical bills and long trips in your future, while fighting this terrible disease called cancer to live. Become one of Caden's Comrades today and join him in fighting for his life. Any help and all prayers will be greatly appreciated.
