Hope for a hydro plant worker

A 39-year-old Avista hydro power plant operator is fighting for his life.

Jeremy Radezky, 39, was recently diagnosed with multiple myloma after he suffered a broken hip in a fall. Test results confirmed the rare and aggressive form of blood cancer. Additional CT scans revealed tumors and lesions scattered throughout his skeletal system.

"But even in the midst of chaos, miracles began to unfold," according to a post on GiveSendGo.

Jeremy’s wife, Susan, who contacted The Press, said the first sign that something divine was at work came when the emergency room hospital registrar who checked them in mentioned that her own grandfather had been a plant operator at the Post Falls Dam — the same kind of work Radezky did in the same location. 

After being discharged from the hospital, Radezky met with his primary care provider — "who, in yet another stroke of providence, had extensive experience in the local oncology field. Recognizing the urgency and the rarity of his case, she personally reached out to a local oncologist who specialized in multiple myeloma. Within a day, an appointment was made and a detailed treatment plan was in motion to begin the first week of November," the post said.

"Every step of this journey has been filled with divine interventions guiding Jeremy and his family toward hope and healing in ways that only God can work," the post read.

Radezky will undergo a cancer treatment plan of up to six months. Combining that with recovery from hip surgery and the potential for other fractures due to tumors and lesions throughout his skeletal system makes for a lot of unknowns and challenges, the post read.

The story has been shared on GiveSendGo as a way to share Radezsky's story, to unite a community, stir support and bring awareness to those affected by multiple myeloma. 

"Together, let’s stand behind him with the same strength and courage he’s shown for years," the post read.
