Lightning Striking Twice - Help Shawn’s (Goz) Fight Against Cancer!!
In 1988, at the age of 20, Shawn Gosnell was diagnosed with a Synovial Sarcoma tumor on his right thigh. After chemo and surgery, the tumor was removed, then radiation, and for 33 years, he was cancer-free.
At 53 years old and in late July of 2021, Shawn had trouble breathing at work. After a doctor’s appointment, he was sent to the ER, and a CT scan showed a large build-up of fluid on his right lung. A CT scan then showed a mass on his right lung. After draining the fluid, a biopsy and PET scan was performed. Shawn was diagnosed with Stage Four Synovial Sarcoma cancer, with masses on his lung, bones, and lymph nodes.
The treatment plan was chemotherapy that started on September 17, 2021. Shawn went once every three weeks until December 31, 2021. The scans have shown that there is little to no spreading of the cancer at the time. They will reevaluate the treatment plan again on January 28, 2022. Synovial sarcoma is a very rare type of cancer that can come from different types of soft tissue, such as muscle or ligaments. It can also form in soft tissues in the lung or abdomen.
Shawn was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. A proud Benson Bunny graduate of 1986! He is a loving, caring, and passionate man, who spends his time with his new bride, Julie. Shawn is currently employed at Boys Town working in their paint division.
During this time, Shawn has been unable to work, making it extremely difficult to pay medical and daily expenses. We hope you will join us in supporting Shawn through his journey and encourage you to donate and/or share his story/link through social media, no amount is too small. This is a tough road to travel, and Shawn could not do it without the support of his wife Julie, and his close-knit family and friends. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
On Saturday, February 19th, 2022, the Kalina’s, Speckmann’s and Henderson’s are hosting a Birthday party and fundraiser for Shawn. It will be held at the My Way Lounge. The event will start at 2:00pm. We hope to have a great turnout to celebrate Shawn’s 54th birthday! Please spread the word! The My Way Lounge is located at 2425 N. 84th Street, Omaha NE 68134.
