Hi everyone, my name is Viliamu Kuaea. I am 38 years old and I live in Tacoma Washington. I am married to my beautiful wife Amadis for over 6 years and we have been together for a total of 12 with 4 beautiful growing kids. 

I am here to share my recent diagnosis and my journey that was found on June 9th, 2023. I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, they found a half dollar size tumor in my esophagus above my stomach. With this, the cancer has traveled into my lymph nodes and was discovered with a biopsy finding the same cancer cells in the esophagus. On June 27th they staged it at 4 since the cancer cells have travelled through my body.  Since June 9th I have had many doctor visits as they have fast forward me into chemotherapy best I caught it now than at a point of no recovery. I still have many more doctor visits and treatments coming up. Second opinions from other cancer hospitals. I am reaching out to the community’s in hope to find some help with medical visits and treatments that I have biweekly. 
Anything will help as it will take the stress off of my family with our bills to keep our family a float and to keep charging forward with minimal barriers that maybe constraining financially. 

I will keep you all updated on this journey with doctor visits and hopefully the good news as I hope to improve and strive to ring that bell someday and be clear of this challenge in my life. 

I am keeping a positive mind set through this all, also I have changed my life style with healthier choices in food and mental discipline to help drive my body to recovery. I have lost over 80lbs of weight that has helped this includes no sugars and no carbs, and it has helped me in recovery. This journey is said to be a low chance of curable but I will not give up and will take my 1% and build off it, exercising has kept my mental sharp and body energy up, writing my diary has kept my mind clear and in a good place and PRAYING is been my true treatment as God is the doctor of all doctors. God has giving my calling and I will answer. I feel I have been activated to become something more than I am and share my story with you all to help others who fight this fight along side myself to come out of silence and also build a support network. 

Thank you for your time and reading my story and thank you for your giving efforts. 

Love and peace,

GOD BLESS YOU ALL! 
All up hill from here!
