Joey’s path for cancer treatment and recovery
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Joey Raats
I was recently diagnosed with a rare form of Testicular Cancer. I was diagnosed on May 26th, 2022, at Logan Health Center in Kalispell, Montana. Due to the severity of my Cancer, I was referred to the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona. I have three large tumors, two located in my abdomen, one located in my neck(lymph), and multiple small masses throughout my lower abdomen and spine. I’ve had multiple procedures done already with the most recent one being a partial Orchiectomy(removal of my right testicle). I hope to start chemotherapy/radiation soon and will likely need a high-risk surgery performed to remove the larger tumors.

I recently returned from Coventry, England where I was playing Professional Ice Hockey. Unfortunately, my medical insurance did not carry over to the U.S. upon my return. I am reaching out to my family and friends for help because I am currently in a complete self-pay situation and not able to work with my conditions.
I’m extremely grateful for all your support! Accepting prayers and good vibe donations as well!
