VENOMIN JAMES Drummer’s Condition Terminal; Family Needs Support
May 31, 2010, 14 years ago
VENOMIN JAMES drummer Jared Koston is returning home to Madison, Ohio today from University Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio to be with his family, per his request. The doctors have given him only a few days to live. There are no additional treatments they can do for him.
Jared was diagnosed several months ago with stage IV melanoma cancer and two brain tumors. He was taken by ambulance to University Hospital on Friday, May 28th, 2010 and put in ICU where he was unresponsive at first.
"Jared gave the best damn fight", says Jared's wife Michele. "Baby know that I love you and always will. You are a winner in my book. The strongest man I will ever know."Michele is in need of financial support to help pay for the home hospice care and funeral arrangements. The Kostons have 4 children, no health insurance or employment.
"Jared and I were not prepared for something like this to happen", says Michele. "Who thinks at age 29 you are going to have to make these kinds of plans for your husband?"Donations can be made as follows:
