At the height of the pandemic, Parker was diagnosed with a very-rare cancer and a large tumor needed to be surgically removed from his abdomen. His local physician immediately sent us out of the area to University of California San Francisco, which is over 5 hours away. There is only 5 sarcoma treatment centers in America and lucky enough UCSF is one of them. Spending over a week in the hospital the results came back and was diagnosed with dedifferentiated liposarcoma, a one in a million diagnosis.

Since 2021, he has had to have multiple scans and after 2 years the cancer metastasized in his blood and spread to his lungs at this time labeling him with Stage 4 cancer. This time he underwent surgery to remove the cancer by removing a portion of his lung to ensure they had clean margins.

Although all surgeries were successful, less then a year from his last surgery. Parker was told the cancer has returned to the original location finding a mass touching his pancreas and they want to do radiation and surgery this time.

With surgery in a few weeks, radiation every day for 5 weeks and more trips every 3 months to San Francisco we have realized that this has become bigger than what we thought we could handle. As difficult as it is for us to ask for help anything you can donate would help take a little stress off so we can focus on healing.

Parker has taken time off of work to completely focus on his health.

The fund would go to helping support:

Travel and lodging for him and his family to the city. With multiple trips for surgery, follow up appointments and radiation.

Help maintain stability while his wife takes time off to care for him.

Parker has always put others before himself and made a point to help wherever and whenever he could. Taking time to always be a loving dad to his 4 children and a supportive and loving husband. We appreciate every prayer, share and anything anyone can do to help.
