GoFundMe Page Set Up For Firefighter Diagnosed With Cancer

A GoFundMe page has been set up for a Bayport firefighter who was recently diagnosed with throat cancer.

Jason Feinberg, who has served in the Bayport Fire Department since 1990, was recently diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma, which is blocking more than 70 percent of his airway.

According to the page, doctors told Feinberg he would require surgery and months of treatment seven days a week post op.

"He has always stuck his hand out to help others when called upon, now it's time for us to pay it forward," the page said. " He also finds time to serve on our annual Big Bucks fundraiser Committee and recruitment committee. Recently after a visit with his doctor Jason's life changed. For weeks he felt he was suffering from stubborn post nasal drip. After failed attempts at home remedies he visited the doctor. He was told he had a mass in his throat and they believed it may be cancer. After days of doctors appointments and testing the worst case scenario had been confirmed."

Feinberg has served as Captain of Bayport FD Engine company 1, and currently serves as Captain of the Bayport FD Water Rescue Squad.
