Miracle 4 Matt

Matt Cheek was diagnosed with an Oligodendroglioma brain tumor in August 2011. The tumor was benign and was able to be removed with surgery. Matt and Ashley were informed that the tumor could reoccur and become aggressive at any time. For that reason Matt would have to have a scan every 6 months.
In 2017, Matt had to have a second surgery to remove the tumor once again. He then had to undergo 6 weeks of radiation and be on a monthly regimen for a year.
In March of 2018, the oncologist noticed a change in his scans once again. Matt had his third surgery on September 13th. This time it was growing more into his motor skills. After an almost 10 hour surgery, Matt was facing a long recovery. The doctors advised that he do radiation again. This time a high dose for 10 days and start a trial treatment to prevent the tumor from returning.
On October 23rd, Matt had a scan to prepare for radiation. The doctors noticed that his tumor was growing again and more rapidly. This time the tumor returned as a Grade III and in stage 4 cancer. Surgery is not an option, and it is in a very difficult spot to treat safely.
Anyone who knows Matt, loves Matt. He is one of the most generous, God loving people you will ever meet. He, along with his wife, Ashley, and his two children, Hayley and Colton, are always there for everyone else. Now it is our turn to be there for them.
We have seen how amazing our community can be in times like these. If anyone deserves to see that love and support again...it's this family. Let's show them how much good is still in the world!
