I just want to say thank you for all of your prayers, texts, messages, and who have donated… Means a lot.

I’m posting today because I need your help in a big way and my time is running out. My family and I are faced with our biggest battle yet. I’ve been diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic cancer. Western Medicine is giving me 6-12 months to live with a 1% chance. I will be seeking treatment outside the country but the cost is all out of pocket and the cost is $300,000.

I’m thinking if I can get 300 of my friends and family to try and raise $1000 each then we should be able to reach our goal. That’s why I’m reaching out to all of you personally as a father and a husband in desperate need with the hope that we can come together as an Army to help me beat this relentless disease from taking my life! Thank you for being my friend and thank you for your support! Please continue to pray for a miracle 🙏🏼

Here is the gofundme link if you would like to share my story. 🙌🏼

According to the American Cancer Society, pancreatic cancer is the 3rd leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States surpassing breast cancer. In 2023 an estimated 64,050 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the U.S., and more than 50,550 will die from the disease. Pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers. 90% of pancreatic cancer patients will die within five years of diagnosis – the majority of patients are diagnosed at a distant stage, for which the 5-year survival is only 3%.

- Brain Tumor / Cancer Awareness Month. We would like to show our SUPPORT for those in the FIGHT, for those who SURVIVED, or to HONOR a loved one LOST to Brain Cancer! -ACF

Most brain tumors are not linked with any known risk factors and have no obvious cause. But there are a few factors that can raise the risk of brain tumors. The best known environmental risk factor for brain tumors is radiation exposure, most often from radiation therapy to treat some other condition.

WARNING SIGNS / SYMPTOMS

• Headaches
• Nausea and vomiting
• Changes in speech, vision, or hearing
• Problems balancing or walking
• Changes in mood, personality, or ability to concentrate
• Problems with memory
• Muscle jerking or twitching (seizures or convulsions)
• Weakness of some facial muscles
• Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs

Certain signs and symptoms could suggest that a person might have brain cancer. But tests are needed to confirm this. At this time, there is no sure way to prevent brain cancer! Early detection, age, type of tumor, and its location could determine the patients survival rate… If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, the best way to find it early is to report any possible signs or symptoms to your doctor right away!

It can take years, even decades, for cancers to develop. Studies show that 9/11 first responders have an elevated risk of certain cancers, including a roughly 25% increased risk of prostate cancer, a doubling in the risk of thyroid cancer and a 41% increase in leukemia compared to the general population.
