Wayne’s Story

Site created on October 16, 2022

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.


On August 2nd Wayne started having some back pain. He visited the urgent care a few times. After having a scan done the found a mass on his left kidney. He then had a biopsy, which determined he has clear cell renal carcinoma, rhabdoid. Its s rare and agressive form of cancer. The cancer has also spread to lymphnodes in his collarbone and pelvic areas. We have struggled to get his pain under control which has sent him in and out of the hospital. On October 7th he had his first treatment, which is immunotherapy infusion. As this cancer doesn't respond to chemo and they cant use radiation. We are praying this helps his body fight off the tumor and the Lord has more work for him to do here with us.

Journal entry by Myka Gonzales —

Things are still going well little by little. Dad is asking for prayers for strength in his voice and he still has a rash on his body. He is scheduled for immunotherapy on Friday. We are praying he gets both medicines and keeps getting better for the holiday season. Thank you for everything you all are doing for us! We love you guys.
