Cory's Cancer Fund

Donation protected
Just 13 days after his 25th birthday Corydon was diagnosed with Stage 3 stomach cancer. He has been having stomach problems for a few months, but in the last month his health greatly deteriorated. He lost 30 pounds, was vomiting blood, and was unable to hold anything down.
       On October 22nd he had an endoscopy that revealed a large mass growing in his stomach close to his esophagus. They took a biopsy, but was told at the end of his visit that the mass was bleeding and  there was a long road ahead of him. 
       The biopsies came back and indeed the tumor was malignant. He went to the SIH cancer center and was told that his cancer is in Stage 3, possibly even stage 4. He has to undergo more tests to find out for sure.  
        Cory has at least 3 months of radiation and chemotherapy before they will take out the mass and then another 3 months after that, but we are trying to stay positive and hope that the treatments will  shrink the tumor quickly. 
        This GoFundMe is for Cory and his girlfriend, Laney, who has been constantly by his side and has done most of Cory's appointments and scheduling. She has missed a lot of work and the fight is just beginning. 
       Corydon just graduated from SIU in May and was slotted to start a new job at Verizon on the 3rd of November. He will not be able to start that job, instead he will need to be focused on healing and beating this. Many people have asked what they can do to help. This is it, if you are able. We have no idea what his treatment costs are going to be and he still needs to pay bills and live. If you can donate or share that would be awesome. His family is thankful for each and every one of you.
