Family and friends, for those  of you that do not know, on October 28, 2022 I was diagnosed with stage 4 gallbladder cancer.  At the time of the diagnosis, I was given 6 to 12 months to live.  Emily and I began preparing for what I beleived would be my fate, letting our immediate family know about the disease.

Shortly after hearing the news, we began working with Dr. Lindsay Hannan at Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seatte.  We decided that my best chance for longevity would be to go to the best cancer center in the state and we found that to be Fred Hutch.  Dr. Hannan has been amazing and over the past nine months has added years to my life.

While attending chemo therapy sessions three days a month in Seattle over a five month period, we consulted with Oncology Surgeon Dr. Jonathan Sham about the possibility of surgery.  Despite the fact that we were initially told that surgery might not be an option, we did everything asked by both doctors and with a lot of prayers were able to have a successful surgery in April.

Emilly and I are participating in the Obliteride because without Fred Hutch and the amazing doctors and staff, I truly believe that I would no longer be alive.  I owe my life to these two incredible doctors and want to give back for people that are experiencing what we have been going through these past nine months.  

I ask that you please donate to much needed cause.  

Sincerely,

Kevin and Emily Fuhr
