Dear Amazing Supporters and Friends,
I hope this message finds you with a smile on your face and a skip in your step! It's time for a quick update on my journey, and let me tell you, the adventure continues!
So, picture this: I embarked on a trip to Florida, visited my sprightly 101-year-old father-in-law (who's living his best life in a nursing facility), and then faced a comedy of errors involving a hotel chair that decided to play a little trick on me. I must say, my acrobatic skills were impressive, but alas, the soreness in my neck, hip, and lower back was not part of the plan.
Now, just when I thought I had mastered the art of graceful falls, I found myself diagnosed with Covid. Yes, you heard it right – a plot twist that would make even the best screenwriters jealous. The post-trip fatigue hit hard, and suddenly I was coughing, sneezing, and feeling like I had run a marathon. But fear not, my friends, because I'm here to give you the lowdown on the latest chapter of this rollercoaster ride!
In the midst of my superhero-like recovery, I received news about Keytruda no longer being fully covered. Talk about adding a dramatic soundtrack to life's plot twists! The medical team at Atrium Wake Forest Baptist hospital, my trusty sidekicks, are doing their best to navigate the changes, but it seems even superheroes have to deal with bureaucratic challenges.
Now, onto the next episode – my upcoming February 5th appointment for a treatment that comes with a $3,600 price tag. Who knew fighting villains (read: cancer) could be so expensive? But fear not, because together, we can make a dent in this expense and keep the laughter flowing.
My medical team, being the cautious heroes they are, decided to postpone my January 31st infusion since Covid was still playing tag with my immune system. Smart move, right? Now, they've set their sights on February 5th for the big showdown, and I have no doubt we'll emerge victorious.
As for my rehab workout, art class, and leisurely strolls, they've been put on hold for now. But I'm channeling my inner optimist and finding joy in small, unexpected moments. Laughter truly is the best medicine, and with your support, we'll keep the positive vibes flowing.
Now, here's where you come in – drumroll, please! I'm reaching out for a bit of help to conquer this chapter of my adventure. If you're ready to join the League of Extraordinary Supporters, click the Link below to make a contribution to my GoFundMe campaign.

With humble gratitude,
Craig Brown
