I braden am now the owner of the page.

As of today I’ve just gotten past the 3rd week of radiation and chemotherapy 3 weeks to go to complete treatment and find out what affect it has had only side effects so far is losing what was left of my hair but I think I can live with that haha these donations will go to getting me back on my feet and if the radiation and chemotherapy doesn’t have the desired effect unfortunately I will have to find an alternative treatment as you only get one round of radiation therapy
