My name is Rylan Burrell, I started suffering from testicular cancer about 3 years ago and had to have one removed, a couple years later I got debilitating pain and learned that the tumor returned much larger in my stomach causing kidney failure and blood clots. I finished chemotherapy a few months ago however the pain has returned and I’m back in the hospital again, so far we’ve placed stints in my kidneys and discovered that a piece of the tumor is lodged in my spine. I’m still waiting on a neurosurgeon to come visit and figure out what the next step in my plan is.

As of now I’ve done one dose of radiation on my spine and I’m going through day 2/6 of chemotherapy, pain is getting better but I’m still barely able to walk and I’ve gained weakness in my arms.

I live with only my mom and I can’t work due to the pain and partial paralyzation caused by the spinal blockage, I’m worried as my blood thinner medication alone costs $500 a month even with insurance, not counting the other medications and medical debt.

I’m currently signing up for disability however it’s a very long process, if anyone is blessed enough I promise all donations will be used for a good cause, otherwise spreading the word to others and helping me in my journey is just as helpful.
