David Driscoll fundraiser for cancer treatment

update 11/15/23- finally some good news today. He’s been down graded to stage 3. As soon as David has an EKG he can start chemo. As some of you know David had a heart attack several years ago, so doctors need to make sure his heart is in good shape. Once chemo starts he will have 4 rounds, every other week, then surgery in Spokane to remove part of his stomach. Then when he comes home more chemo. Thank you to everyone who has donated, sent thoughts and prayers and offered words of encouragement. It’s all appreciated more than you know!

Update 11/10/23- David meets with the oncologist on Monday and he should start chemo then. He has been in a lot of pain, but the Dr are helping to manage that. Otherwise everything else is settling down a bit and they are getting into a new groove. Thank you to everyone that has donated, it has helped so much! So far the biggest hit has been the protein shakes he needs to drink. He is supposed to drink 5 a day and they are rather spendy. I’ll continue to update as I need to.

Update: 11/6/23- David made it home yesterday. He started making calls to get into chemo, no one in town can get him in u til next week. The Dr in Spokane are trying to help to get him in, if they can’t he may need to go back to Spokane for treatment until Lewiston can get him in.

update:11/4/23- David has had a stint put in his stomach and had a port put in for chemo. According to the nurse, he will start chemo on Monday in Lewiston. He is expecting to be discharged tomorrow and be able to come home. Thank you to everyone who has donated, it all helps!

Hello everyone! I have started this GoFundMe for my daughter and son-in-law and 4 year old grandson, Zachary. David was diagnosed with Adeno Carcinoma in his stomach last week. This is a fairly aggressive form of cancer. Tuesday of this week he was admitted to Sacred Heart Medical Center to have a stint placed in his stomach. When he comes home he will be starting chemotherapy to shrink the tumor and eventually he will have to go back to Spokane to have surgery to remove a portion of his stomach and potentially some of his intestine. David is a veteran of the US Navy. Their medical, travel and lodging costs will be reimbursed by the VA, but at this time he is unable to work and we are unsure of when he will be able to return to work. We are asking for donations to cover their basic living expenses while he undergoes treatment. Thank you!
