#cancercare

Forgive any typos. But this isn't something I thought I'd have to do.

I guess first I start on an update with this situation here. We figured out how to get the house into our name. It'll take about 7 months. My aunt went above and beyond to make it happen. I'm grateful for that.

But, there has been another brick thrown at us. @jeweltonejules is my spouse.

Now... Let's start with a timeline.

Beginning of September, both my spouse and I caught Covid. Once recovered we noticed my spouse had a swollen lymphnode. We decided to tell their PCP about it at the next appointment if it never went away,

November 2024 Jules saw their PCP who noticed the lymphnode was massive and got an ultrasound scheduled.

December 2024 The ultrasound was done. It revealed the growth to be a tumor. A large one with blood vessels. A biopsy was scheduled.

January 2025 Jules went to the biopsy appointment. The Doctor noted it was so large and in such a bad spot that they decide to schedule surgery then and there out of an abundance of caution.

February 13th the surgery was done and not one, but two lymphnode tumors were removed and sent to biopsy.

February 19th Jules is called in to go over the results from the biopsy and check on the wound in their neck. They are diagnosed with Metastatic Squamous Cell carcinoma. A cancer that came from somewhere else in the body. But it at best is stage 2 at worst stage 3.

We are currently awaiting a call from the ENT Specialist at Vanderbilt because they believe the cancer is in that area.

This diagnosis has completely devastated us and our families. We are aware of how costly chemo and radiation can be and the risks it holds.

We already live paycheck to paycheck and are hoping to raise money to help us pay for treatment and pay off any debt we possibly can. The less debt we have the more money we have to go towards treatment as well. Especially if Jules loses their job. Donations will go into savings first and foremost.

Donate HERE if you want to see updates consistently and watch a meter go up.

Otherways to Donate here! if not for what's to come I'd offer commissions. But, I will be taking as much overtime as I can at work.

And of course: This is our list of debt. So, you know EXACTLY what money will be going to outside of medical treatment!

$700 in credit card debt (Cards will be retired.) CLEARED!

$1,800 medical debt (Currently) Not a main concern because of how fast its growing.

$8,600 auto debt

$58,000 Mortgage (This includes a loan we got to fix a massive issue with the floors.)

We know we are asking for a miracle, but it's all we can do at the moment.

We will be updating as we get more information.

कैंसर जैसी भंयकर बीमारी से बिना कोई महंगी दवाई खाए, बिना कीमौथेरेपी, रेडियोथेरेपी, इम्यून थेरैपी कराए बिना केवल सत मंत्रों के जाप से पुख्ता इलाज संभव है।

I know that cancer as a disease sucks, but we have to learn of every experience and try to see the bright side of everything and use that to grow personally. This is my recommendation to coping with cancer, I think is the healthier way to do it (not easy however):

1. Greater appreciation of life

Pay greater attention to things that previously considered insignificant. Change your life priorities and appreciate every single element of your day.

2. Warmer, more intimate relationships

Turning for help and support from family and friends leads to a change of emotional connection in interpersonal relationships

3. A greater sense of personal strength

Change the individual perception of your skills and strength, if you can deal with this disease, complications and treatments, imagine all the things you can do. Focus on creating goals and plans, or retake plans that you had before, dealing with cancer is not the only thing in your life.

4. Spiritual development

Be open to spiritual questions of finding meaning, through this rough experience you may need support that can’t be given by friends and or family.

5. New possibilities

Discover new ways of being, leading to new possibilities that did not exist before.

Oportunidad de crecimiento post traumático

Sé que el cáncer como una enfermedad apesta, pero tenemos que aprender de cada experiencia y tratar de ver el lado positivo de todo y utilizar eso para crecer personalmente. Esta es mi recomendación para hacer frente al cáncer, creo que es la forma más saludable de hacerlo (no es fácil sin embargo):

1. Aumenta tu apreciación por la vida

Presta mayor atención a las cosas que antes considerabas insignificantes. Cambia tus prioridades de vida y aprecia cada uno de los elementos que componen tu día.

2. Relaciones más cálidas e íntimas

Pedir ayuda y el apoyo de la familia y amigos conduce a un cambio de la conexión emocional en relaciones interpersonales.

3. Cambio de la apreciación de la fuerza interior

Cambia la percepción individual de tus habilidades y fuerza, si puedes lidiar con la enfermedad, sus complicaciones y tratamiento, imagina todas las cosas que puedes hacer. Enfócate en crear metas y planes, o retoma planes inconclusos, combatir el cancer no es lo único en tu vida.

4. Crecimiento o desarrollo espiritual

Manten tu mente abierta a las preguntas espirituales que buscan el significado de la vida. A través de este amarga experiencia podrás necesitar un apoyo que no podrán satisfacer tus amigos ni familiares.

5. Nuevas posibilidades

Descubre nuevas formas de ser, dando lugar a nuevas posibilidades que antes no existían.
