I was diagnosed with gum cancer (massive maxillary mass / 5.4cm / tumor / stage 4) by Head & Neck Surgeon Dr. Keith Blackwell MD at UCLA Ronald Reagan Center, Los Angeles, California, who performed surgery to remove the tumor on July 28, 2025, with the help of another surgeon, Dr. Payam Afzali MD, UCLA Oral Maxillofacial Surgery. I was hospitalized for one month. Having been discharged from the hospital, I have been undergoing radiation for 30 sessions, which will be followed by chemotherapy. My wife is also disabled. I am having extreme hardship to pay house rent, utility bills, and other necessary expenses on a daily basis. Your support to continue my journey of cancer battle (as I am having another cancer / stage 1 in my lungs) would be appreciated.

I was diagnosed with gum cancer (massive maxillary mass / 5.4 cm long / tumor) at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center by Head and Neck Surgeon Dr. Keith Blackwell, MD, and Oral Surgeon/UCLA Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. Pafam Afzali, who performed surgery to remove the tumor, almost the entire upper jaw bone, and gum on July 28, 2025. I was hospitalized for a month. I've been going through a lengthy journey of cancer treatments, radiation, chemotherapy, and also facial reconstruction. I really need your financial support to go through this lengthy journey to survive until the end of the journey. I would really appreciate your support.
