11/08 UPDATE:
Jimmy has been diagnosed with Glioblastoma, a malignant, aggressive, deadly cancer. He will be receiving treatment, which will consist of both chemotherapy and radiation. Although he will be undergoing this treatments, the oncologist said that there is no cure for this and did not give Jimmy more than 6 months. These news have been devastating, but Jimmy is a fighter and we are hoping for the best. Thank you for all of your donations and please continue to share this campaign.
James R. Ardelean or as everyone knows him, Jimmy Jam, of 55 years old is a loving husband, father, grandfather, overall, a wonderful person who has always put others before himself. Unfortunately, James is now in the ICU due to a tumor that has rapidly taken over his brain,
We were told that James had a 4cmx5cm mass on his right side of the brain. Our heart was torn when we heard the words “brain tumor” and "cancer" for the first time. We were told that the tumor was inoperable. This felt like we were losing the one person who always spread positivity around. After this, James was in an induced coma for a few days with medication to reduce inflammation, which made the tumor operable. James then had a craniotomy and is now talking, eating, and moving. This is a miracle! We are still waiting on the biopsy of the tumor to determine if it is benign or malignant, which we hope is NOT malignant.
However, James wife Jenny, and daughter Natalie need help with expenses while helping James recuperate. I am humbly asking from my heart for your prayers for James. That is what we need most. I am also reaching out because many of you have asked how you can help. God has made a way for our family so far, and he will continue to make away. Please join me in building James' testimony and helping him through this journey.
