I have a rare autoimmune disease called, “Castleman Disease.” It creates a lot of issues inside your body. Attacking your kidneys, liver, heart, and lymphnodes. Cancer is what it creates in me. 8 years ago I had a major surgery when I was diagnosed with a tumor behind my heart. I am disabled as the disease makes it very difficult with pain and vomiting. Makes it hard to keep a job when I am constantly sick.
I have been seeing new doctors and they are wanting to do surgery again to remove the tumor that has grown back behind my heart. I know and understand that a lot of people simply don’t have the extra money to give. However, one dollar can go such a long way to helping me pay these medical bills and keeping a roof over my head until I can recover and find a job that will work with me through my illnesses. Everyday is a struggle just to get out of bed and be able to walk. The tumor pushing on my heart and lungs makes it difficult to breathe and function as a man should be able to function. For more information on Castleman Disease you can visit their website at cdcn.org.
I have faith that God will bring me through all of this as well. If not for Him I would have been gone a long time ago. So I praise Him everyday and I am so grateful for being allowed to wake up another day and see my beautiful daughter.
May God Bless each and everyone one of you. I pray that He brings nothing but good to you and your families. Take care.
