When I was first diagnosed with a Stage 3C Seminoma (testicular cancer) in February of 2016, the doctors were optimistic that my cancer would be easy to straighten out. I've been an oddball all my life, tho, and that trend continues -- the treatments I have already had are supposed to work for 90%+ of Seminoma patients. But both chemotherapies I have tried failed to fully get rid of my cancer, and it is still present in four of my lymph nodes. My next option is "high dose" chemotherapy, which has just a 30% chance of curing me. When seminoma cases get this advanced there are very few options. Seminoma cases as stubborn as mine are very rare.

Medicaid has covered most of my medical bills so far, but it does not help with other expenses. I currently have ~$2000 in medical bills, and my mother and I have been putting much of our other expenses on credit.

The money I raise here will hopefully mostly go towards my outstanding bills and back to my mother to clear the debt she accrued on my account. Any extra will go towards future medical bills and, hurts to say it, but potentially end-of-life expenses for me.
