Brady Plucker Benefit - Starts March 10, 2025

 On August 2nd, 2024, Brady went to the emergency room for extreme left flank pain. It was discovered that he had a MASSIVE 16cm tumor on his kidney. Immediately, he was given a referral to Mayo in Rochester. After the long journey there and several appointments later it was decided to do a kidney biopsy. It turns out he actually has Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma. Unfortunately, ACC is a rare and aggressive cancer. 

 Brady had surgery on August 29th to remove the 19cm tumor, his adrenal gland, kidney, 3 lymph nodes, renal vein and renal artery. The liver was tested while they had him open and did confirm the cancer has metastasized. 

Brady served overseas in Afghanistan and is a very loving father of 3 kids, Harper, Maverick and Keegan. 

Adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare type of cancer that develops in the cortex of adrenal glands. It is a malignant tumor that may not be discovered until it grows large enough to cause symptoms. Most ACC tumors are functioning, meaning they increase hormone production to higher-than-normal rates. Symptoms include abdominal pain or feeling of fullness, lump in abdomen, and back pain. 

Live life to the fullest! Take the trip, spend time with family, tell everyone how you feel on a daily basis because tomorrow is never guaranteed! 

Brady, Brittany, Harper, Maverick and Keegan - I'm honored and with the help of the HUGE SDBB Community I'll do my best to ease some financial burden!

 Easton was born with CCHS (congenital central hypoventilation syndrome) which increased his risk of Neuroblastoma and Hirshsprungs disease. At two weeks old his entire colon was taken out and would struggle with dehydration in the years to come. At 6 months old he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. He's had multiple surgeries and biopsies, did 2 doses of high dose chemo, and 10 doses of low dose chemo. We've worked with doctors all over the country to get him the best help. For almost two years Easton's tumors remained stable and we just monitored them. In the fall of 2022, Ashley had to quit her job as a teacher and take over primary cares for Eastons's medical needs and stay home with both children. That left us as a single income family. In July of 2023, Easton's tumors start to grow. 

After 6 rounds of chemo, in March of 2024, his tumors did not light up on scans, but the tumor sizes remained the same. We all took it as a win. On scans in July of 2024 though, his tumors began to grow again and would grow again on scans in October. We have been working with doctors in Minneapolis and New York to manage this. We were med flighted to New York within the last week to work with the doctors in New York to work on getting a clear picture of what his cancer is doing and what treatment options are available. Our single income is able to keep us stable normally; however, hospitalizations, flights back and forth, and travel expenses put a large strain on that. We appreciate the support to get our son the help he needs!
