This condition carries a staggering risk of cancer, with some estimates placing it as high as 93%. Though not yet widely known, this battle is one Kurt faces with courage and determination.
Medical experts warn that without prompt and aggressive treatment, these lesions can rapidly turn life-threatening. Yet, Russell’s spirit remains unbroken. Surrounded by loved ones and committed to fighting, he is navigating this frightening journey with resilience, hoping to overcome the odds stacked against him.
