On December 7th, Dave was admitted to Crouse Hospital to start his fight against cancer. Five days in the hospital turned to ten before he was finally cleared to return home.

During his follow up appointment on December 29th, Dave’s cancer was diagnosed as Stage III and the doctors determined that it can only be slowed down by chemotherapy.

Being that Trish has been a continuous support by accompanying Dave to all appointments in Syracuse, she will have to take a lot of time off work. The Crowder’s could use any help they can to stay on top of the chemotherapy treatments, hospital bills and extended hotel stays as needed during the treatment.
