On June 1st, 2025 Justin and Kristinia received news that Justin had a large mass on his left Kidney. After many trips to Iowa City and many scans the Final Diagnosis was Stage 3 Renal Cancer. Along with this mass Justin also has a large clot in the Inferior Vena Cava (largest vein in the body). Since June 1st until now Oncology has confirmed this is a very aggressive tumor and the clot is elongating. Iowa City has scheduled an Open Radical Left Nephrectomy with IVC Thrombectomy on July 10th,2025. Following surgery Justin with start immunotherapy every 3 weeks for 1 year.
Justin has been off work since June 1st receiving a percentage of his wages. Kristinia is a Medical Assistant at Waverly Health Center and is continuing to work and care for Justin during this process. We are trying to ease some financial stress for them as they have 2 kids at home yet and bills that continue to come in as well as upcoming appointments and surgery in Iowa City. We are trying to ease some of the financial burden that they have upon them. If you could be so kind just to donate what you can, even a small amount is more than appreciated. Thank you for allowing us to share our story. Please pray for Justin and the days ahead as he begins this chapter that no one should have to encounter. Thank you and God bless.
