Help Matt Continue His Fight Against Cancer

My name is Karen Lambie and my husband Jeff and I recently had the opportunity to visit my godson Matt “Matty” Peterson (my sister, Colleen’s, son) down in Arizona. He has been tirelessly fighting Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma for the past 4+ years and has been unable to work throughout the various treatments that they’ve trialed. He put together a synopsis on his medical experience with his battle so far below:

“When I found out my cancer came back as stage 4 mediastinal large B cell non Hodgkin’s lymphoma (originally had stage 4 Hodgkins in 2017 but got put into remission) we did high dose r-epoch chemo. That brought my masses from 3.5 inches on adrenal gland and 4 inches in my chest down about 60%. So I then did my auto stem cell transplant in January with BEAM chemo before that to prepare for transplant.. Then when I had a Petscan 3 months later it showed my two tumors were both back up to 4 inches in my chest and 3.5 inches on my adrenal gland. So the BEAM chemo I did before the auto stem cell transplant and the transplant itself failed. So then we did CBV chemo and Car-T therapy. My 30 day post scan showed 30% improvement in my chest and 40% improvement on adrenal gland. I’ll have another scan soon to see if my car T cells are still working and killing the cancer. In the mean time during all this I haven’t been able to work much at all, barely any. And used up my savings to get by. Now I’m still sick and that’s either from car-t or possibly breaking down the tumors and possibly other things, or maybe the cancer (hopefully not).”

Any and all help we can provide to him at this time is greatly appreciated!
