Please help Carson with his cancer treatment

Hi, my name is Carson. I'm 25. I'm starting this gofundme to raise money for my cancer treatments and medical expenses. I was recently diagnosed with a 3½ inch lymphoma in my chest. It's between my sternum and my lungs and pressing on my heart. I start chemo for it on May 22nd. It will take 4 months of rough chemo to hopefully cure it.

I'm disabled and have been unable to work because of a variety of physical and mental health issues. I was in a car accident when I was 16 that kept me bedridden for over a year due to chronic and debilitating vertigo. I continue to have frequent bouts of vertigo. I have chronic joint pain with my knees, back, and neck. I have several other conditions such as being allergic to chemicals and cleaners and gastrointestinal issues. I already had ADHD, but my chronic pain also gives me depression. Recently, a psychologist told me that I probably sustained a traumatic brain injury when he observed the issues that I have with memory and processing. All of this has kept me from being able to work. I have had to give up many of my goals and dreams.

My parents have always supported me and have been very helpful with taking care of all my medical bills, but it's getting to be too much, as they are still paying for previous medical expenses from ongoing treatment for conditions like my vertigo, going to various specialists to try to find out what's going on with me, and paying for various testing. I don't want them going into more debt for me. We have insurance, but we are expecting everything to cost around 9k out of pocket. I age off of my parents' health insurance at the end of July. They are working to keep me on it, but we might have to find more expensive options. If I don't have insurance, we're afraid that I won't get the medical care I need. We're already having to make tough financial decisions. I had to give up a recommended service, because it was going to cost $1,000 that insurance wasn't going to pay for.

I know this is a lot to ask, and I normally don't like asking for help, but I need it this time. Your donation will pay for medical expenses such as my emergency room visit when the mass was discovered, the surgical biopsy, testing, cancer treatments, copays, deductibles, future hospital stays, and medication.

If you can help in any way, I'd really appreciate it. Everything is appreciated. Even if you can't donate money, Id appreciate it if you can share my gofundme. Thank you for reading my story and for any help you can give!
