Support for John White 2024 Cancer Recurrence

Donation protected
My name is Nick White, and I am creating this GoFundMe with the intention of easing the financial burden that comes with a cancer diagnosis, treatment plan, and overall management for my brother, John White. John was first diagnosed with esophageal cancer in the fall of 2022. He successfully endured six weeks of chemotherapy and radiation, followed by the surgical removal of his esophagus and the internal refashioning of his stomach in the winter of 2023. He emerged from the surgery with a cancer-free prognosis and, over time, fully recovered. He managed to return to "normal" living, maintaining an active lifestyle, working full-time, and most importantly, retaining his presence among family and friends after such a serious health diagnosis.


Time has passed since his initial diagnosis, and unfortunately, a cancer recurrence occurred in the fall of 2024. The cancer spread to John's stomach, causing serious internal complications that required multiple emergency surgical procedures and extended stays in the intensive care unit at the hospital. The fall was an incredibly distressing time for my family, as we were often left in the dark and prepared by hospital staff for worst-case scenarios. Ultimately, we were unsure if John would survive what he was going through.


Once again, with his strength of will and spirit, John pulled through those dark, uncertain times and is currently in stable condition, undergoing chemotherapy treatment. He has completed several rounds of treatment already and will continue through the winter into the spring. He has handled the chemotherapy treatments brilliantly despite all the previous complications and is on a positive path forward.


The new year has brought renewed faith, hope, and gratitude after such uncertain times. He has beaten cancer once before and is currently on pace for another victory. As we all know, the healthcare system in America is broken, and the financial implications that accompany a diagnosis and treatment plan like John's are truly unfathomable. My goal with this GoFundMe is to give John a sense of grace and peace while he focuses on yet another long road to recovery. John, my family, and I are beyond grateful for the love and support received on his journey thus far and would greatly appreciate any donations from those who are in a position and willing to assist.

Thank you, Nick
