Donate to Ease Mark Rush's Cancer Battle

My name is Mark Rush, and I was diagnosed with Stage 3 pancreatic cancer. Actually, it was Stage 1b upon diagnosis back in July 2023.

It's been 15, almost 16 months now, of Folfirinox treatment and now, Gem/Abrax. I've been a painter by trade as far as employment, but chemo for over a year has wiped me out.

I was approved for CenCal, so insurance isn't an issue. Food supply has been solved too for myself and my 2 kids, 8 & 16 years old.

This journey has been so hard on us, but we're trying to maintain a positive attitude . My only issue is monthly bills, and we're currently behind and in a pinch. Got a 14-day notice for PG&E to boot. I can hardly sleep because my brain wants to WORK, but my body won't let me. It's all the cumulative effects of so many treatments.

Also, just found out from UCLA that I'm not operable, even though my local oncologist in SLO has had my hopes up all this time. I'm so torn

Anything helps so we can at LEAST get out of our current rut.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this,

Love,

Mark, Lily & L.J.
