Officers Fight against Cancer
Donation protected
My loving husband, Chris Austin, is a warrior! He is a courageous man and has been protecting our community for 18 years as a law enforcement officer. He is a loving loyal husband to me, Kristin Austin, and together we have 5 amazing children ages 11-5.
Chris was diagnosed with two types of thyroid cancer on December 28, 2016. He has two category lV Malignant Papillary Carcinoma nodules (one attached to a lymph node), one Hurthle Cell nodule with A-Typical Cells category lll and one nodule with A-Typical Cells category lll. He will be having a complete removal of his thyroid gland and surrounding tissues on January 30, 2017.
Chris is our main source of income. He will be off work for 3-4 weeks for the surgery. After the surgery we will find out if he needs Radioactive Iodine treatment &/or Chemotherapy. We know he potentially could be off work another 2 weeks to 6 months depending on treatment required. The help and support of living expenses for the next few months will help Chris not stress at how the daily bills will be paid and make sure there is food on the table for our family. He will need a stress free environment to heal quickly so he can return to doing what he loves, protecting our family, you and your loved ones.

Thyroid awareness is so important. More then 30 million Americans have thyroid disorders, and more then half go undiagnosed and untreated. Thyroid disease is more common then diabetes and heart disease. In fact, more Americans suffer from thyroid disease then all types of cancer combined. It's more common in women then men. Chris's only symptoms were fatigue and lack of weight loss. He has been on a fairly strict diet and is at the gym 4-6 days a week. I knew with that alone his thyroid was in question. I know that 80% of nodules are benign. I never expected my husband to be in the 20%. With the surgery and treatments thyroid cancer is 99% curable. That is great news for our family. Chris knows this isn't a death sentence. He knows that he will fight with all he has and he will prevail!

We are asking for prayers for his speedy recovery and total health restored. If your able to financially help no amount is too small. We thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts. Please help me spread the word by sharing Chris's campaign.
Thank you and God Bless!
