Help support my brother during stage 4 treatment
Donation protected
So..its 6am and I'm sitting here staring at a curser blinking….thinking…. Mass in the stomach…lesions on liver…. Stage 4 cancer….Chemo…immunotherapy… 6-12 months life expectancy… I'm in Ontario...cant even get to him right now...Then a roar starts in my ears and the tears well up behind my eyes, cause we are talking about my big brother Chris… and I go through the stages……can’t be… fucking cancer…he’s 49…he’s too young. But we all know cancer doesn’t care how old you are.
Tried writing this for weeks…. But then I realize this isn’t about me…. Its about him, about helping him feel comfort and financially take care of his family. His beautiful wife Chrissy, sons Tyler, and Jonathon.
He can no longer work, so I’m asking you to help me… help him concentrate on the fight of his life with out worrying about rent…groceries… bills....college fees for his oldest..
Chris’s fight began mid July when started having pain in his stomach. First trip to doc the first week of Aug, where they prescribed him stomach antacids. When the pain didn’t decrease he made a second trip to doctor the last week of Aug. His GP sent him for an ultrasound mid Oct and found liver lesions. X-ray after ultrasound found enlarged lymph nodes. Cat scan Oct 23 found concerning mass in stomach. Gastroscopy confirmed cancer Nov14. Met with oncologist Dec 7 who confirmed prognosis. His port was inserted Dec 18. Chemo starts on Dec 27.
I know its tight this year, so any donation no matter how small would be greatly appreciated, and please share on your social media and keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Help me help him.❤
All funds will go directly to Chris and his wife Chrissy.
From the bottom of my heart thank you.
