The Delph Family needs your financial support to help Zach defeat cancer! Zach Delph, an easygoing, easy to love, and loyal friend, husband, son and father was recently diagnosed with cancer after a growth was discovered on his jaw. As you can imagine, this has already begun to put a major financial burden on the family finances as Zach has swiftly pursued treatment. I promised Zach we wouldn’t let the well run dry without doing our best to cover the cost of as many of the medical bills as possible - so please donate to help this awesome family focus on being together and supporting their favorite person rather than carrying the burden alone. Zach is a faithful servant at church and otherwise - and it’s time to serve him and his family in a tangible and meaningful way. Please join me as we #GiveBackToZach!

Here’s a note from Zach on how this developed:

What started as an earache and jaw soreness about a year ago turned into a year of searching for answers. There were lots of tests, scans, blood draws, biopsies, and inconclusive results. However, after the third biopsy, we got news no one ever wants to hear: cancer. Specifically, Stage 2 Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL).

The earaches and discomfort in my jaw culminated with a growth being discovered on the right side of my jaw, between my chin and my ear. How long has it been growing? We’re not sure. But in October, I told my dentist something didn’t feel right, and sure enough, there was a growth. That turned into appointments with an ENT, oral pathologist, oral surgeon, a head and neck surgeon, and finally an oncologist once the 3rd biopsy confirmed the lymphoma diagnosis. A PET scan showed no spread beyond my neck, which gave us the Stage 2 diagnosis. Other than the growth on my jaw and swollen lymph nodes in my neck, I’ve had no other symptoms, which has been a blessing.

What we’ve since learned is that DLBCL is very aggressive, but very treatable. Treatment requires multiple rounds of chemotherapy + immunotherapy, referred to as R-CHOP. I’ll begin these infusions this month, with each treatment occurring every 21 days. The initial goal is 3 treatments (the first of which I’ve had), then I’ll have another PET scan, and we may go as far as 6 treatments.

Right now, we’re trying to remain as positive as possible, given the situation and the unknown of what’s to come. How will my body respond to the treatments? How many treatments will it take? Will the treatments work?

But as much as we’re nervous and scared about what lies ahead, we’re also ready to get this show on the road. Insurance has been slow to approve some things and quick on others. This whole process has been a lot of hurry up and wait.

So here’s to 2026 and kicking this cancer to the curb. We welcome your prayers. ❤️
