Help Tyler Win His fight against Cancer!

Hello friends, I’m Stephanie Crook, a family friend of the Gall family.

On May 9, the Gall family’s world was turned upside down when their 27-year-old son Tyler began experiencing severe back pain. An MRI revealed that cancer had spread throughout his body and spine. From that moment on, friends and family sprang into action. Tyler underwent multiple scans and a liver biopsy at Northwest Health and St. Mary’s.

By May 16, biopsy results confirmed metastases in his brain, liver, spine, and pelvis. With the primary cancer still unknown, Jen and Craig rushed him to Northwestern University Hospital’s ER. There, palliative care managed his excruciating pain while rad oncology delivered five rounds of spinal radiation to help shrink the tumor and ease his pain.

An endoscopy soon revealed the surprising origin, esophageal cancer, a diagnosis almost unheard of in someone so young and fit. The medical team began chemotherapy on May 23 True to form, Tyler faced each session with remarkable strength, completing his first cycle before returning home with the news that treatment would continue for the foreseeable future.

Through it all, Craig, Jen, Kaitlyn, and Tyler have leaned on faith, prayer, and one another—and hope for a miracle from God to heal Tyler. Yet, with Tyler unable to work and medical bills mounting, they need our help.

How You Can Support Tyler:
