Devourment guitarist Chris Andrews has revealed that he has been undergoing treatment for brain cancer. According to an official GoFundMe, this marks his second battle with brain cancer and surgery was recently performed in Houston, TX. He will require months of ongoing treatment for his condition, including radiation for several weeks and a chemotherapy for a year.
He commented on the situation last week:
“I’m not desperate (yet), but this battle is going to be full of unknowns. My “health insurance” is already being buttheaded about some things. I’m doing all my treatment in Houston, a couple of hours away from home, so every week for the next 6 weeks i will be paying for hotels on top of my normal rent, while not working.
More costs + stopping the regular flow of income is not a good combination for one’s economic situation, of course. It really makes me anxious to put myself out there like this as a beggar, but A) i have personally donated to a lot of GoFundMes over the years, and B) I AM going through something pretty serious that is not going to be cheap, so I’d be shooting myself in the foot if i didn’t open up the option to pool together disposable funds from the large number of fantastic people i am connected to online.
So, without further ado, I present the Chris Andrews Brain Cancer Fight Fund…”
