Diagnosed with SCC Stage 4a Cancer
Just thought I would swing through and let those of you that know me but are not connected with me through other social media that I was diagnosed
with SCC Stage 4a cancer on January 25th of this year.
The cancer is in my tonsils and neck. I began Chemo and radiation treatments last week. The desert didn't do me in at NABX 2012 and I plan on
surviving this by the grace of God.
I have been here and there trying to sell some of my kiting and other gear to help with gaps in insurance. One thinks they have good insurance
until the copay for a single treatment jumps up.
Anyway, my employer started a gofundme cancer fund. I am attaching the link but I want you guys to know although your help would be greatly
appreciated please don't feel any obligation to participate.
This has always been an awesome community full of great people. I consider it an honor to have known many of you.
With great respect and admiration to this community,
Ryan

Ryan,
We've never met but as a fellow tribesman I am saddened to hear this news. Glad to hear you are stubborn; it's going to help as you fight this thing.
You live in an age of amazing advances in the treatment of a host of cancers and I wish you the very best in seeking out the very best care and
beating this thing!
My best,
Steve
