Ryan Kurtz Brain Cancer Fund- Chemo - Round 4
Donation protected
No secret to anyone our beloved Ryan has had a tough ass year, and now as icing on the cake he has a very rare tumor called Oligodendroglioma anaplastic, technically classified as a brain cancer. On Thanksgiving morning he experienced a long set of seizures lasting for anywhere from 6 to 8 hours until found by his roommates. Going to the hospital he was in such a disoriented state he had to be sedated and sent to ICU for monitoring until they discovered what was wrong with him. After a week of going from diagnosis to diagnosis it was finally discovered there was a walnut sized tumor located in his frontal lobe. About a week after the scare of his life he had another that topped even that. Set to go to brain surgery to remove the tumor he went under the knife to remove as much as possible and discovered what truly was causing him such pain. After two weeks of healing and removing 50+ staples we were told the tumor was worse then we though. The tumor was rare and cancerous and another surgery would be necassary with radiation and chemo therapy. We then started to the long trek to health from there. With this campaign we are aiming to take some of the financial pressures of rent, utility bills, food and generally living supplies off his mind so he can focus on himself and getting better. With chemotherapy and radiation on the horizon this money will strictly be used to support him while he is forced out of work with this terrible illness. As well as living money for his rent, food and travel until he can return to work, this will occasionally be used to pay for any stray medical bills and transportation to the hospital until we can get him under insurance. Ryan is directly connected to this gofund me and all the funds will be withdrawn and put directly into an account with both my and his name on it and will be sharing, I am a close friend and am helping take care of him during this trying time. For more information or to ask for direct updates on Ryan's health feel free to contact me through Facebook under the name Breana Bella, I am a close friend and am here to help as much as possible. Any amount would help and any amount would be deeply appreciated.
