Skip Brown Cancer Surgery/Recovery

15 years ago at the age of 24, my cousin, Skip, was diagnosed with stage 4 squamous-cell carcinoma (oral cancer) in his mouth, despite never having smoked or chewed. He underwent a very extensive surgery, with grueling chemo & radiation treatments. Since then, he has had a clean bill of health.
A couple of weeks ago, he started experiencing some of the same issues that started his cancer journey 15 years ago.
Following a recent biopsy, the doctor did confirm that the same kind of cancer has returned on the opposite side of his mouth.
There are several positives to this situation:
- The tumor is significantly smaller than last time
- It is a much earlier stage than last time (Stage 2)
- He is being treated by the doctors who took care of him 15 years ago
- The doctors are being very proactive & aggressive in getting this taken care of as quickly as possible

He will have to have surgery, similar to what he had last time, but on a smaller scale. Surgery is scheduled for August 23rd.
Our goal is $20,000, so that we can make sure everything is covered that Skip, Sarah & their 2 kids will need, removing that stress from Sarah, so they can focus on Skip getting back to 100%.
Whatever you are able to give will go directly to help cover medical expenses not covered by insurance & to help with regular monthly expenses during Skip’s time off work, as well as to cover any time Sarah will need to take off to take care of Skip.
