<div>In August 2025, a full-body Prenuvo scan — a birthday gift from Sharee as a preventative check and to ‘set a baseline’ for longevity in a healthy, 37-year-old athlete — revealed something completely unexpected: an almost 3cm suspicious mass in Ben’s right lung. A PET-CT confirmed it looked cancerous. A biopsy identified it as a rare and aggressive subtype of lung cancer called high-grade fetal adenocarcinoma (H-FLAC) — something rarely found in early stages and typically with very poor outcomes.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Within weeks, Ben underwent a right upper lobectomy, meaning they removed the top portion of his right lung, including the lymph-nodes and artery, in an effort to eradicate the cancer we caught early. Even with early removal, recurrence is 25-40% likely. He’s now recovering from major surgery, adjusting to life with reduced lung capacity, and preparing to start chemo soon.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>The functional oncology treatments are completely out of pocket, along with co-pays on the standard treatments at the hospital. Any support will go directly to Ben's therapies.
