Help Trever Fight Cancer

Donation protected
We have created this GoFundMe to help Trever as he navigates through Chemo Therapy to treat his cancer. Trever has been unable to work since the beginning of January. Cancer brings a lot of medical bills that he will need help taking care of! All money donated will go towards medical bills and living expenses as Trever tries to get back on his feet.

Here are some words from Trever about his medical situation.
"On January 14th, I went in to urgent care to get checked out because I hadn't been feeling the best. I was fatigued, losing weight as well as no appetite. They did blood work and took a UA, and a few hours later wrote it off as iron deficient aneamia. The Dr. Told me to get iron suppliments and some probiotics to help with my loss of appetite.

The Next week I just continued to get sicker and sicker. Losing weight not being able to eat and when I did I couldn't keep it down. I could hardly stand for longer than an hour or 2. The 21st came along and my dad decided it was time to go back to the doctor. This time I had a slight fever which opened up possibilities to much more than aneamia. I went to the ER where they took a CT scan and saw my spleen was abnormally large ( about 6x what it should have been). I was admitted to the hospital where I would spend the next 4 weeks having a countless number of tests done. I had CT scans, biopsy on lymph nodes, blood work etc. I was diagnosed with scarcoidosis about a week or so Into the hospital. Later they found an ulcer in my stomach the size of a straw as well as a fistula connecting the spleen and stomach that had a giant collection of bacteria around it.

I got sent home for a bit then had an appointment with a radiologist specialist for another CT scan. After the radiologist told my dad I hadn't shown any improvment ( I had been on. IV antibiotics for over a month at this point) and suggested we talk to a surgeon.

The day came where we met with the surgeon and he was not only willing but excited to work with me. The BIG day would be March 13th.

Surgery came and it went well though it was a bit more extensive than initally planned. They removed my spleen that was the size of a soccer ball, my gallbladder, part of my pancreas, 1/3 of my stomach as well as a tumor that had an abcess . They did another biopsy on some lymph nodes and have diagnosed me with lymphoma cancer. I'm kind of at loss of what to really think but I am staying positive as best I can."

Anyything helps! If you dont have money to donate, sharing this post or a kind word of encouragement with Trever goes a long way!
