Help Robb Smith Kick Cancers Ass
Donation protected
Hi Everyone, To All Friends and Family Of Robb, Since I know we all want to help...
In March 2020, Robb Smith at 47 years old, after months of having a sore throat, what was thought to be a bad tonsil turned out to be cancer. Surprised and devastated by the news, he and his family started the journey together to beat the cancer. Intensive chemo rounds and 35 radiation treatments were scheduled to start immediately. The pandemic hit so all treatments, scans, tests, and appointments were done alone, while his family waited at home. The treatment was grueling but he persevered. On the day of his last radiation treatment, the celebration was short-lived….the scan results were back and he received the call that the cancer had spread, to his lungs. More chemo scheduled, this one more intense than the last. More scans with no positive results, just more side effects from the treatments. Treatment was stopped and immunotherapy started, more scans, more appointments, more sickness…Immunotherapy showed no signs of working so it was stopped.
There is no cure for this cancer but Robb has taken on the challenge of kicking it into remission! The current treatment is the worst by far but after 2 treatments FINALLY a scan with a positive outcome.
It has been a struggle since the beginning of the Cancer diagnosis for he and his family but they have persevered. Robb has not been able to work full time since the onset of the diagnosis but he has worked every hour that his health has allowed him. The family’s resources/ savings are now depleted and Robb needs to focus on putting this Cancer beast into remission. The current treatments have taken away most of his hearing, his recovery is 3 weeks of severe side effects (bedridden) and just as he starts to feel a bit better, the next round will start. There is no option to work while doing these treatments.
Any donations will go directly to help with Robb’s medical requirements, hearing aids, and the day-to-day life requirements to help he and his family during this difficult time.
Well wishes, Shares and words of encouragement are also greatly appreciated!
Thanks So very much.
