Support Brian Woodward's Fight Against Cancer

Donation protected
My name is Sherri Brocato-O’Boyle, and I am reaching out with a heavy heart and a lot of hope for your support for my long-time friend, Brian Woodward. Brian is battling Stage 4b metastatic prostate cancer.

Brian’s fight against cancer began in November 2023 when he was diagnosed with advanced metastatic prostate cancer after enduring increasing PSA and urinary symptoms for three years. Despite undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy with Lupron and Abiraterone, his cancer is growing, causing significant pain and preventing Brian from working effectively.

Although I know Brian from our fun days at Satellite Beach High School in Brevard County, Florida, Brian has lived in Hendersonville, NC, for many years, running a professional photography studio and later working as a real estate broker.

Unfortunately, the pain and fatigue from his cancer have made it difficult for Brian to continue working, even part-time, and he is now living on Social Security and the kindness of his neighbors and friends. His current treatment schedule includes procedures at Levine Cancer Center in Charlotte, North Carolina; most concerning is the possibility that his cancer has mutated to an endocrine cancer, which is very serious and requires immediate treatment. In addition, Brian's significant level of pain is causing his oncology team to re-evaluate his treatment plan.

I am seeking funds for Brian to cover the costs of upcoming procedures, treatments at Levine, and possible prolonged stays at Duke Cancer Institute for a clinical trial. These treatments are crucial for his fight against cancer, but his current treatments continue to deplete his monthly Social Security payment and savings.

Your support will help Brian access the necessary medical care and alleviate the financial burden during this challenging time. Any contribution, big or small, will make a significant difference in Brian’s life.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
Warm regards,
Sherri
