A note from Tommy’s sisters:​

 

You never know how much you're going to need your family until something like this happens. This has been a very tough year for our brother Tommy. Our sweet, strong, incredible brother was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer a year ago at the age of 41.

 

It's been a year filled with aggressive chemo (folfirinox!), radiation, and most recently, surgery. He got through a major surgery last week, and this feels like a hopeful step forward. Unfortunately, he has been having a very hard recovery, was re-hospitalized, and has been in the hospital for over a week. He hasn't eaten since last Monday, and he's lost over 15 pounds. It's been brutal to watch him go through this, especially for our mother.

 

​We are prayerful and hopeful that Tommy will recover after another surgery this week.  There is still a long road ahead for him, and it has been challenging for him to do his job as a tennis coach and pro. His work has been incredible, and we know he wishes he could have worked more. He will likely be on rest for the next two months. There's a lot of uncertainty with this diagnosis, and we keep our hope and prayers alive.​

 

Many people have asked what they can do, and truthfully, what he needs most is support with prayers and also financially. Cancer is excruciatingly expensive, especially his particular type.  Any funds contributed will go to Tommy to avoid significant medical debt.  Donate at the link below or https://gofund.me/a3e70c03c

 

​Colorectal cancer is now one of the fastest-growing cancers in people under 50, and it’s something no family ever expects to face. Watching someone you love go through this is terrifying and life-changing. While research gives us hope for the future, the reality right now is incredibly tough. Any support—donations, shares, or kind words—means more than we can express. ❤️​

 

We know Tommy is so strong, but this has been incredibly challenging.

 

Thank you for your support!​
