My amazing brother, Scotty Tedrow, recently suffered a serious fall while walking his dogs and broke his leg just below the knee. What initially seemed like a simple fracture turned out to be far more complex — an X-ray revealed a large tumorous mass growing inside his bone, which caused a pathological fracture of his tibia.
He was taken by ambulance from Evansville to UofL Hospital, where he has been since October 19th. After five long days of painful tests and anxious waiting, we finally received some relief — the biopsies confirmed the tumor is non-cancerous. Scotty has been diagnosed with an aggressive but benign Giant Cell Tumor, a rare condition that affects roughly 1 in a million people.
This week, Scotty will undergo major surgery to remove the tumor and reconstruct his knee and leg. His recovery will be long and challenging, involving both in-patient and out-patient rehabilitation over the coming months. Unfortunately, this will also bring a significant loss of income for Scotty and Seph during his recovery.
While their main focus right now is on healing — both physically and mentally — I created this fundraiser to give friends, family, and our community a way to support them during this difficult time. Every contribution, message, and share means the world.
If you’d prefer, another wonderful way to show support is by booking a future appointment at Fox & Crow with Scotty or Seph once they’re back to work.
The outpouring of love for Scotty has been incredible, and our family is deeply grateful for every bit of encouragement and kindness sent his way 🖤
