At 45 years old, Vlad is a devoted husband, proud father of six, and someone who’s always put his family and others before himself. This past October, he and his wife celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary — a milestone filled with love, laughter, and hope for the future.

That hope was tested when, at just 44 years old, Vlad was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma. He underwent surgery in October 2024 to remove part of his tongue after doctors feared the cancer could spread. For a while, things looked promising. Regular follow-ups and scans showed no sign of the disease, and Vlad and his family began to believe the worst was behind them.

But in August 2025, Vlad began experiencing pain and swelling on the right side of his neck. After more testing, doctors confirmed that the cancer had returned — this time in his lymph nodes. On September 16th, Vlad underwent another major surgery to remove the affected nodes, and now he’s preparing for his toughest fight yet: six to seven weeks of radiation and chemotherapy.

Because the treatment targets both sides of his neck, eating and swallowing will soon become difficult. To help him stay nourished and strong, a feeding tube will be placed on October 31st. Throughout this journey, Vlad’s courage, faith, and love for his family have never wavered — but the road ahead will be long, painful, and uncertain.

Even with insurance, the financial strain is heavy. Vlad will be unable to work for at least a month, possibly longer, while he recovers. Your support will help his family cover medical costs, household expenses, and the essentials they need while he focuses on healing.
