Support for Greg Kellner
Donation protected
On March 6, 2019 Greg went to the ER with increasing symptoms of dizziness and lack of balance. It came as a complete shock to everyone, including the ER doctors, that these symptoms were actually the result of a brain tumor on his cerebellum. A pathology report following brain surgery confirmed that the tumor was malignant. The surgeon was able to remove the entire tumor, but Greg will still need radiation and chemotherapy.
Greg spent the next few weeks in intensive rehab working on improving his speech, vision, and walking, which were all impacted by the brain surgery.
After many neuro-oncology consultations, Ali and Greg decided to pursue Proton radiation, a treatment that will cause far fewer short and long term impacts to the vital organs surrounding his spine, at MD Anderson in Houston.
They will be spending 6 weeks in Houston while Greg gets radiation, returning to Denver afterwards for approximately one year of chemo. It's sure to be a long difficult journey but Greg is being treated by the best of the best, and we are all hopeful for a positive outcome.
Many community members have asked how they can help. Ali and Greg are grateful for the outpouring of support! Now that they have a sense of our path forward, they'd be very appreciative of donations to offset medical costs and living expenses. All money raised through this campaign will be given directly to Ali and Greg.
