Tyler is a 30 year old husband, father and a man who has always put his family first. With his outgoing personality, contagious smile, and a servants heart, Tyler is the heart of his family and all who know him. He works hard to provide for his wife Sierra and his young children Harry and Kamryn. He is always ready with a helping hand and will always go the extra mile for others.
Life took an unexpected turn for Tyler and his family when he was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma. The surgeon at MD Anderson, was able to determine with the new pathology that Tyler was misdiagnosed and mistreated from the initial findings and surgery. This cancer is aggressive just not as rare as the original diagnosis, prior to MD Anderson. Squamous cell carcinoma does respond to chemotherapy.
The journey has been filled with road trips and flights to Houston.
He will be going to Houston for radiation treatments 5 days a week and chemo once a week. The treatment plan is currently six weeks. Their needs will be many.
Tyler and Sierra have requested prayer specifically that he would be able to maintain an appetite and not lose any additional weight. He needs to eat, eat, eat! High carbs, high protein and high fat.
They have two additional trips to make to Houston, in the near future. This will be to meet with his medical team, additional scans, fitting for his radiation mask, and prep.
Tyler’s official treatment will begin October 14th. Hotel rooms are approximately $250 night. Being a good steward , Tyler has found an Airbnb to stay while going through treatment. They will continue to drive to and from Houston as round trip flights are costly. Please pray for travel mercy and protection for them over the next 2-3 months.
Tyler and Sierra say, “thank you for all of the prayers, love, and support. It truly means the world to us. We are so, so thankful that God lead us to MD Anderson.”
Please continue to keep their children Kamryn and Harry in your prayers.
We have a 5k run walk fundraiser scheduled for October 19th. You can walk, run, crawl, or push. There will be a separate run for the kids. We will also have a silent auction for donated gifts. We are hoping that we can FaceTime Tyler from the event❤️
If you would like to donate to the silent auction, please send a message or reach out.
