Support Scott Yahnke's Cancer Battle

Hello, my name is Scott Yahnke. I was diagnosed with stage four small cell lung cancer in June of 2024. I finally decided to start a GoFundMe account to help pay for my medical expenses as I go through cancer treatments.

I have reached out to several organizations and am lucky to have found help with some of the previous bills I wasn’t able to pay. I’m continuing to search for ways to help me get through this difficult time in my life. I’m so thankful to be able to work part-time, or as much as I can, to keep up with everyday expenses. My family and friends have been such a blessing with all of the support they have given me.

So far, after a few surgeries, I’ve been treated with chemotherapy, radiation, and now immunotherapy. The tumors in my lungs have gotten better since the initial diagnosis, but still remain. Ever since the cancer has spread to my hip, it’s become extremely difficult to walk even when I use a cane or walker. I recently found out I have a fracture that is getting progressively worse. Now I need to have surgery to hopefully remove the tumor and replace my hip. Radiation will follow to try and remove anything that remains.

I’m asking for help in any way possible including financial assistance, referrals to organizations I may not be familiar with, and most importantly, prayers. I sincerely appreciate the support of my immediate family and friends as well as many long-distant relatives. May God bless you all and thank you for your love and support from the bottom of my heart. I love you all.

Sincerely,

Scott Yahnke
