A Survivor Story
Dalton Gray, the agency owner's son, was diagnosed with stage IV gastric cancer in January of 2023. After 9-rounds of chemo and immunotherapy at the highest dose humanly possible, he achieved a near complete response and was a candidate for surgery. In June 2023, he underwent a partial gastrectomy and HIPEC - a state of the art surgery, which removed all evidence of disease. Dalton lived 5 disease-free months accompanied with periodic and clear CT scans, which confirmed the prognosis.
The Battle Continues
The day after Christmas, he went to the ER to investigate strange symptoms. The CT showed a blockage in his small intestine. Initial biopsies were negative for malignancy; however, another surgery was necessary to fix the complication, which is a common instance after the intensive surgery Dalton endured in June. He woke up to devastating news - the blockage had to be bypassed because the cancer was back.
Living with Cancer
After a 2-week hospital recovery and a few weeks of travel to the top medical systems in the country, Dalton returned to treatment in February of 2024 and is managing symptoms well. As Dalton moves along with treatment, he will return to MD Anderson in Houston to receive routine CT scans to check on progress. For now, MD Anderson is working in the background on extensive genetic testing, so they can match potential clinical trials for Dalton's case and offer additional treatment options, which are only available at facilities like MD Anderson.
Bidding Details
100% of the highest bid will go towards Dalton's interstate travel, lodging, and medical expenses for continued treatment. All unused proceeds will be donated to a cancer research organization of Dalton's choosing for the brighter medical outcomes and success of future generations.
