Loosing my fight to cancer

Donation protected

Hey everyone my name is Timothy Gates. I'm 55 years old and I've been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung Adenocarcinoma cancer that has already traveled to my brain. It has been a devastating turn of events. I'm still a young man with a lot of life left to live. I'm not ready to give up, not yet, not ever. I have recently undergone a major brain surgery to remove one of the largest tumors from my right frontal lobe and although they have found another spot with tumor like characteristics they have assured me that it should be dead from my numerous radiation treatments that ive taken . My next steps will be working on the largest mass above my right lung. Unfortunately I have been informed due to the location being too close to my Thorax , Trachea and Aortic valve it is inoperable and my only option at this time is to try to shrink it and hopefully kill it as soon as possible. As you can imagine this has flipped my entire families life upside down and we are in need of assistance. While going through radiation and surgeries i have been unable to work to support my family whos full focus is on me and my well being , we ask if able to please dontate whatever you can and share our story and link to any social media we would be forever grateful . All monies donated will be used to cover any bills recieved during brain surgery recovery , medical expenses including medications not covered by insurance , treatments and everyday expenses that come with unfortunately not being able to work. Thank you for reading my story and doing what you can to help out me and my family in this time of need.
