I wanted to share a quick update on where things stand, mostly because hitting "post" on a health update 
feels a bit like realizing you’ve walked into a room and forgotten why you’re there—except the room is the 
internet and the reason is cancer.
To give you the short version, I have officially finished the standard radiation and chemo circuit. My recent 
MRI—which I’ve started thinking of as the world’s most expensive and uncomfortable headshot—showed 
some progress, but the journey is definitely far from over. I’m remaining defiantly optimistic, largely 
because any other option seems like too much paperwork.
Being able to continue playing live music through all of this has been my anchor and a vital sense of 
normalcy. It’s a huge part of who I am, though I won't sugarcoat the fact that showing up is taking a 
significant physical and emotional toll lately.
Facing Glioblastoma (a "fancy" medical term for brain cancer) has led me to explore every possible 
treatment to win this fight. The good news is that some of the alternative methods I’m using are making a 
real difference and helping me feel like myself again. The frustrating news is that insurance companies 
tend to view these life-saving treatments as "optional," meaning they don't cover a dime.
The out-of-pocket costs are, frankly, staggering. While the incredibly generous donations I’ve received so 
far have been a lifesaver, the financial strain is still immense. I am beyond grateful for the support that has 
kept me going this long.
Asking for help is not something that comes easily to me. I’d much rather be the one offering a hand than 
the one holding mine out. But I’ve learned that sometimes you have to let the people who care about you 
show up and help carry the load.
If you are able to contribute to my medical fund, please know how deeply thankful I am.
If donating isn’t possible, simply sharing this post with your network helps more than you know.
Thank you for the love, the messages, and the continued encouragement. It truly makes a difference, and I 
promise to keep sharing updates as I’m able.- Brian

Brian has a consultation appt. with the radiologist on Friday Oct. 3rd.  the dr. will be going over an intense treatment plan which will last several weeks.  

Brian has also decided that he would like to include the medical care team at the Guyer Institute of Molecular Medicine which is located here in Indianapolis.

the institute does not take any kind of insurance, so the bills will rapidly be adding up.

again i am reaching out to all friends and family that can possible donate, or please please share this news with everyone that you know!

None of us want the stress of mounting medical bills to overwhelm an already overwhelming situation. 

we all thank each and every one of you for your continued support both monetarily as well as the texts, cards, and well wishes for Brian.

with love and thanks
