UPDATE 9/17/26: On Monday December 8, 2025 I was declared cancer-free after 9 months of grueling treatments that included 40 rounds of chemo & 28 rounds of radiation treatments. I give all glory to God for my recovery! While I may be cancer-free now, I am STILL suffering from the aftermath of chemo/radiation that includes extreme fatigue, which I am told may take years to totally recover from. This is exacerbated by my severe psoriatic arthritis. I had to stop weekly Enbrel injections for it when I started cancer treatment, as it is an immune suppressor drug. When my cancer treatments stopped a & I attempted to get back on Enbrel, l I discovered I now would have a $900 monthly co-pay since I am on Medicare when I previously paid next to nothing on private insurance. I know, it makes no sense. My rheumatologist is trying to find financial assistance for me through Amgen, who manufactures the injector I use as I give the shots to myself. Week by week my hands & feet are getting more painfully crippled. Each co-pay for my every 3 month scans is $260. September alone I have appointments with my PCP, my rheumatologist, my oncologist, & a GI Specialist because of issues I'm having which will require another colonoscopy & an endoscopy. More co-pays. And for crying out loud I currently have shingles, too! All of this has prohibited me from going back to so far, except for some occasional voice talent gigs. With all that in mind, we can still use some help financially at this time. Your gift is needed & deeply appreciated. Thank you & may God bless!!

UPDATE on my Blog: After a year hiatus, I am hoping to start writing again. When I started my autobiographical blog my goal was to inspire others by sharing my current Cancer journey, plus it's therapeutic for me. If you have checked it out already, hopefully you are entertained by my story, but even more so inspired! My blog has been put on hold because of ongoing medical issues, which I previously mentioned. I hate just asking for a handout, so I figured that I could offer something in return that you can enjoy by recounting my incredible, but improbable life story. If so, I would appreciate, if you feel led to do so, donating whatever amount you feel comfortable with to show you enjoy hearing about my crazy life! Or even if you don't follow My Blog we would still appreciate your help. ALL will be greatly appreciated! The amount listed as a goal is strictly arbitrary, but not above what we could use. Keep in mind GoFundMe takes 2.9% plus $.30 to process each transaction. I am so blessed too have so many wonderful friend & a great family. Sincere thanks & God bless you for your love & support! https://www.the-improbable-life-of-a-regular-guy.com/
