My fiance Kurtis is a typical 29 year old man that has been working on the railroad for 9 years. He is a father of a 7 year old and step father to a 13, 11 and 6 year old. We recently found out he has a rare thyroid cancer. He was diagnosed on 7-9-15. It took an ton of emergency room visits from chest pain and throat irritation for them to finally do a cat scan and realize there was lump. He got to the point he couldnt breath due to the lump pushing on his airway. He will have to have surgery to have the thyroid completely taken out. He then will have to be on medicine the rest of his life due to no thyroid. Then they will have to run more tests because they found two other spots, one on the sternum the other on the spine. We will start treatments this week and not sure how long they will last, could be years.
Any help toward our goal for treatment and any travel involved means the world to us. Thank you!
