On New Year's Eve, I was not feeling well and went to the hospital. After many hours, I was greeted by an ER doctor with a somber look on his face, and I knew right then that something was very wrong. He announced with a heavy heart that there appears to be cancer in many locations throughout my body and that I should seek top-notch medical care without haste. I felt a pit in my stomach as the news poured over me like a weighted darkness. I felt my wife touch my shoulder, and I turned to face her. The look of fear in her eyes was one of the saddest things I have ever seen and has been permanently burned into my mind. And it is that same look that gives me the strength and determination to fight like hell. I am fortunate to have one of the best cancer treatment centers in America just a little over an hour away, and that brings me comfort knowing I have the right team to assist me in this fight. I will be out of work for quite some time as I deal with this unfortunate situation, and I am asking you all for your prayers and support to get me through. I've worked hard to provide for my family, and losing half my income for the year will be another challenge to overcome. With that being said, I humbly ask for your support to help offset the income decline and increased expenses. I thank you in advance for your consideration and donations.

Sincerely,

Jason

UPDATE ———Chemo vs Jay—ROUND 1

Because of the aggressive cancer and rapid rate of spread, the plan is the throw everything at it. Day 1 of 21day Chemo and Immunotherapy treatment started on Feb 4th, with the worst part of the side effects in week two. Starting Feb 10th temp spikes to 102 / 103 fever, muscle and joint failure, and the painkillers became ineffective putting me in the hospital twice for 3-4 days each to monitor for infection and white cell loss, both indicate the cancer is winning. However doctors shocked that blood work was solid and showed we were winning this first round fight. Praise God! I undergo 3 locations for radiation saturation in the next couple days and then it’s round 2, rinse and repeat. Not sure how Round 2 will go starting off with a deficit from the radiation when round 1 almost took me out. Thank you all for your prayers donations and love! You are truly special people and my gratitude cannot be expressed in words
