Bill is diagnosed with HPV cancer.

Bill already had 6 weeks of chemo and traditional (photon) radiation, he was assured that the chemo had killed the cancer.

In November it was already back. Bill had surgery on 1/18/23. While he was in the operating room they nicked an artery while trying to dig deep so they can get the rest of the tumor. He was then rushed Into a 2nd operation to repair the artery. They were able to recover 90% of tumor. The

remaining 10% can be gotten by

Immunotherapy chemo and "proton" (not photon) radiation.

THE ONLY PROTON CENTER IS "OUT OF NETWORK" via Bills insurance.

The closest in region is Northwestern Proton Center in Warrenville, IL. or Cincy.

Cincy is (booking) too far out.

So, Northwestern it is.

This is not an in and out procedure. Bill will be held up for several months.

Please give what you can. We are all praying for Bill and his health. If you can't contribute but you read this much, please share this.

Thank you All. ❣️

Our Friend Chef Bill Gruesser with Serendipity Mobile Catering is in need of our help. Chef Bill has been the bar all other Indy food trucks set their standards by. Always available to help and give advice to fellow food Truckers.


Chef Bill has began his fight to beat cancer. He is in need of a life saving operation that his insurance won't pay for and his Dr.'s won't give any garantees on its success.


He didn't ask for help but

as Friends we can't sit bye and not do something, anything to help. So we're circling the trucks!
