Support for Rocky Garieri - Bladder Cancer

Donation protected
This Gofundme is for Rocky Garieri, who was diagnosed with Bladder cancer a year and half ago.

Rocky was experiencing pain and discomfort and went to the emergency room to learn through an ultrasound that there was a mass in his bladder. Rocky has undergone chemotherapy but unfortunately it was not successful. We learned the mass was an invasive high grade papillary urothelial carcinoma. Unfortunately it is an aggressive cancer. He has been recommended BCG (an immunotherapy), as well as, integrative therapies that will support his immune system and address the cancer stem cells.

After everything the Garieri family has gone through, no one wants to hear that they have cancer and could lose another loved one. Rocky has a heart of gold and would help anyone in need if he could.

Rocky needs to do whatever it takes to be 100% committed to take this on! That’s a crucial and positive step!

More than anything, Rocky is a believer and no matter what, he will fight hard along with the support of his family and friends.

Rocky's needs are beyond what his family can afford to cover, so we are asking his family and friends to help any way they can. The $10,000 goal is to cover the various levels of care he will need to best address the cancer which chemo does not address. He requires additional therapies not offered in traditional cancer care. We have identified a cancer center with the appropriate therapies that can give him the best prognosis to augment his immunotherapy.

I am grateful that you took the time to read. We appreciate any help or assistance anyone can give.

Rocky did not want to burden anyone with this and was against starting the gofundme... but I am a believer of this quote... "A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal."

We are truly grateful for all your support!
