Chris Branon's Medical Expenses
Donation protected
Hello everyone. My name is TJ Shann, I am a close friend of Chris Brannon aka Mr. Happy. We are trying to raise money to help cover the cost of his climbing medical expenses. (See Chris's message below.) Remember, no amount is too small. Chris has done a lot for a lot of people, and now it is our turn to help him out. Please keep him in your prayers, and share this link with everyone you know. Thank you, and God bless.
A message from Chris:
Hey Race Fans! Heres an off season update. I will try to make it brief. January: I couldn't stay warm, the doctor thought I was enemic. They did a blood test, ultra sound catscan, etc.... hmmm, Tumor. Oncologist thinks it's Hodgekins Lymphoma. February: biopsy, bad sample. March: petscan, I'm radioctive for a day & had to avoid pregnant women and babies. 2nd biopsy, bad sample. Oncologist planned a Laproscopic Biopsy. During all this, side affects are uncontrolled: sweats or body shaking chills that deny working on a car, or just working at all. They come and go every 10 days to weeks apart. May 10th in bed with new symptom. May 15th I was admitted to the Hospital. Oncologist and Surgeon find an esasier way for sample removal, looking back on petscan there's a single lymphnode just hiding under collar bone. Success! I have an official diagnosis: Hodgekins Lymphoma!?! Cancer. 1st dose of Chemo applied. I'll will have a dose every 2 weeks for the next 6 months. This is a race I will win, just looks like there will be a lot of pit stops. I will keep you all posted. Hope to see you at a track somewhere soon. Thanks, from "Mr Happy".
