My name is Katie Brinkmeyer, and I am trying to raise money for my brother, Nick Worsham, who is battling StageIV colon cancer.

A native Hoosier, Nick and his family moved to San Diego in 2016. Nick is a compassionate and loving husband, father, son, brother, friend, nurse, and co-worker, who has always prioritized the needs of others over his own. He diligently worked on the front lines throughout COVID. In 2022, he welcomed the birth of his first son, Barrett.

Nick was diagnosed with Stage IIIB colon cancer in June 2023 at the age of 44. He has courageously battled the disease for over two years, undergoing all of the recommended treatment, modalities, including chemotherapy, two major surgeries in efforts to remove the primary tumor, followed by more chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and traveled to multiple major cancer centers in hopes of being approved for additional treatment and/or a clinical trial. Nick’s family has now exhausted their savings and resources.

Nick’s cancer has continued to progress beyond the regional lymph nodes and into the perennial lining and diaphragm. It has stopped responding to chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Nick just accepted into a phase 1 clinic trial at MD Anderson in Houston Texas, which will require him to stay in Texas from September 27 through October 27 with additional follow-ups there after.

I am starting to go on the account on his behalf to raise funds for his travel and living expenses for the month of October. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated.
