Help Stephen Beat Lymphoma!
Most recent update:
We send love to all of our family and friends. Thank you for your prayers and caring!
Last Monday Stephen had a CT Scan and then we saw the doctor. The results from the CT Scan showed that the past two strong chemos did not seem to do anything. The tumors have even grown. The chemo was hard and really knocked him down this time.
The good news is that since we are a few days out from the chemo, Stephen is feeling better. The doctor is considering putting him on a Clinical Trial.
So we appreciate your continued prayers. This past October 3 marked 3 years of this battle. We have really been sustained through all of this!
Thank you to our family who have helped us tremendously during this time! They have sent sweet gifts in the mail and financial help to help with the parking fees and sometimes the bills! We love you! We have a great family!
Thank you to our sweet friends who phone at just the right time to give a word of encouragement or visit, who bring dinners by! Yum! Stephen is a people person and that cheers him up!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,
Love to all,
Mom (Adria)
We are reaching out to post an update as well as ask for prayer & support from those who love and stand with Stephen.
We just passed the three-year mark of Stephen's fight against lymphoma (October 3, 2015). He has been sustained through all of the treatments and continues to fight and strong in faith.
He is currently undergoing treatment at MD Anderson. He has medical coverage but there are many hospital bills and treatment co-pays that are not covered and have to be paid out of pocket each visit. The plan of treatment puts him at hospital about 3 times per week. Each round of chemotherapy is approximately $2,000. There is about $6,500 in medical bills currently outstanding. He has just finished another round of 3 different chemotherapies as well as target radiation. This is a very aggressive form of cancer and we are fighting hard to keep it from spreading and growing. We don't want him to worry about finances, only to focus on staying strong, fighting hard and getting well.
The doctors have been unable to get him in remission, he needs a miracle!
Thank you for spreading the word and standing with us in prayer and support. We look forward to cancer free days and know the best is yet to come!
We love and appreciate you all.
Psalm 27:13
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD, be of good courage and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say on the LORD.
