Life can change in an instant, and for Chris Conaway and his family, that moment came with a life-altering diagnosis: Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer. This news has sent ripples through their lives, as Chris faces the battle against a formidable opponent that has already spread to his liver. He will be going in for a PET scan on 10-10-25 to see if its spread anywhere else. He will begin treatment on October 14th.

Even as Chris prepares to fight with every ounce of strength, the financial strain of this journey looms large. Despite working full-time, the need to take time off for chemo and radiation treatments means mounting medical bills, travel expenses, and ongoing support for his family of four. The emotional and physical toll is tremendous, and we have the power to alleviate some of their burdens. By coming together, we can provide a financial cushion for the Conaways, giving Chris the peace of mind to focus entirely on his health and recovery. Every donation, large or small, is a beacon of hope and relief in their darkest hours. Your generosity can help cover essential costs, easing their path and letting them know that they are not facing this fight alone. If you're unable to contribute financially, sharing words of encouragement, offering prayers, or simply spreading this message can have a profound impact. Please consider supporting Chris and his family through this terrible time. Donate, share, and send your love their way. Together, we can stand in solidarity with them, honoring their strength and determination to overcome. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion and kindness.

4/30/26 UpdateWe were able to talk Chris doctor today. He’s going to send the scan to a surgeon to see if they feel we can cut some of the remaining liver stuff out. He will start chemo back up next week. They’ll switch out the meds that was causing the neuropathy with something else they causes stomach cramps 😕 He’ll still have to wear his pump with this type too. But they will re-scan in a few months to see if this is helping shrink the rest of it down. He has had significant improvements though. Thank you all for your love and support and we appreciate you.

December 16th was Round 5 of treatments. Chris is doing good. He automatically gets the cold sensitivity. It gets stronger each time too. Good news, He doesn’t have to go back for treatment until Jan 6th! So he will get to celebrate the Holidays without feeling crappy and His CEA numbers are plummeting! He started 7100 , then the 3k and now 854. The Dr put a guess in the 200s by next time. Normal is 4. So this is amazing! He is responding very well to the treatments. We go back Jan 16th for his next PET scan to see how everything looks. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and continued support 💙
