Donate to Donate to help James & his family as he battles cancer, organized by Angelica Louthan

James Louthan was diagnosed with Stage 3 colorectal cancer on July 30th, 2024. Since then, he's been to a variety of different medical oncologist appointments. James began Phase 1 part of his treatment on Thursday, September 5th, which also happened to be the girls' first day of high school. This treatment includes five days a week of chemo pills (low dose) and 10-15 minute radiation sessions at at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland. In total, the chemo pills and radiation will occur for 6 weeks. James is currently in the middle of Phase 1 and is experiencing discomfort and fatigue. James will have a 2-4 week break mid/end October, before he starts Phase 2, IV chemotherapy, in which he will go to Fred Hutch at Evergreen in Kirkland. He will have 8, two-week cycles (approximately 4 months). Day 1 will be 4-6 hours of IV, then he'll be sent home with a chemo pump for 48 hours. Day 3, they will remove the chemo pump, and he'll recover for the remainder of the 2 week cycle. Then he'll start it all over again. During Phase 2, it is expected that James will experience similar symptoms as before, but amplified. He may deal with extreme fatigue, nausea, mouth ulcers, neuropathy (numbness and tingling), hair loss, and cold sensitivity. Ways we'll attempt to combat all of these symptoms; walking and light exercise, healthy eating, microbiome support, and alternative treatments. And a whole lot of love! I am attempting to systematize things so I can continue to work full-time in the office, maintain our home, cook healthy meals, manage the girls' schedule, attend Gabby's varsity volleyball games, and also care for James. Many of you have offered support and asked how you can help. Some of you have wanted to donate financially and I've been reluctant to set anything up but because some of you have donated to Caring Bridge, assuming it was for us, I've set up a GoFundMe page. James and I have come up with a list of what would be most supportive at this time down below. James plans on continuing to build his real estate business during this time, so if you, or anyone you know, is interested in buying or selling a home, please reach out.
