Hey everyone, thanks for reading! Last week Zach was diagnosed with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma.
In the last month Zach developed a large mass on the right side of his neck. He was in and out of the ER to then be put on meds in hopes to heal him with not really knowing what was causing it. The mass never went away. He then saw a doctor and he wanted to have it surgically removed and sent in for biopsy. In the process of waiting for the results he ended up having to go back in and have a second mass removed that developed fairly quickly and then needed a drain put in temporarily. Test results came back to being cancer. It was a type of Lymphoma but not sure what type or stage it was. Zach then met up with his new cancer doctor and thats when he got a tube put in his chest for chemo treatments. Last Friday Zach met up with his doctor again to go over the future plans and treatments and he also learned what it was that he has. He has Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma and its at Stage 2. This type of cancer has a 70-80% positive recovery rate and will hopefully be done with chemo by Thanksgiving.
Since all of this Zach has not been able to work. LaQuita is currently still on maternity leave from the arrival of their newborn a month ago. So, as of right now they have no income coming in. We as their very close friends pretty much brother and sister are asking for everyone's help on sharing, spreading, and donating if possible to help them financially a little bit. It's been a struggle with this COVID-19 with losing close friends and family and now this with Zach. So, please we ask for help with this family during this time of need.
We are also asking everyone as well as Zach and LaQuita that no-one stops by unannounced and to not send care packages either. Only because of the COVID-19 we do not want to take the risk of getting Zach sick since his immune system is down right now let alone of anyone else possibly getting sick in the house. Please also respect their privacy for a little while since this is all relatively new to them. They will reach out when they are ready.
Zach and LaQuita have a long road ahead of them right now and could use our help to support the kids and themselves. We all appreciate everyones contribute and thank you from all of our hearts.
