Chemotherapy, cancer has not spread

Jeff is clearly fighting with determination.  The doctor recently doubled his chemotherapy to 4000mgs a day through May 6th with a weekly infusion drip.  Spots on his pancreas have not spread or grown.  This is a major praise!  Day to day, he hasn't been able to keep anything down and he is able to gain some weight.  Bills continue to mount, your support is appreciated!

The fight continues

Jeff has a full week of chemotherapy ahead of him and today, he is feeling the worst of it. He can hardly get out of bed. He is very sick and not able to keep anything down (food wise). I am sending his final disbursement of the funds raised and continued support is needed. Please consider a gift in support of his cancer fight. Thank you!  Vince

Cinthya Thanks Vince, for posting this update. This has been a very hard week and the next 7 days will be just as challenging as I am in my 2nd week of chemotherapy. Please continue to pray for me and this struggle.

Two steps forward, one step back

Hello friends!

Jeff finished his pain medication last Monday and has begun a series of appointments this week to remove the staples from his incision and learn more about the lab results from the cancer they removed.  He remains encouraged with all of the support.  Thank you for continuing to send encouragement!

Jeff Diagnosis T3B Gallbladder & Liver cancer

Jeff received news today that he has T3B (stage 3) Gallbladder & Liver Cancer.  They will start chemo in one month after recovering from surgery.  There is a staff infection in the hospital so no visitation at the moment.  

Thank you for sharing this donation link.  Would like this to go viral across The Citadel Alumni network!
