Help Rob Access Life-Saving Cancer Treatment

Words directly from the Bohacik Family:

This past Monday, we were told the unimaginable. Rob was officially diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. The team at the University of Chicago gave us a prognosis of 12 to 18 months. I won’t sugarcoat it—those first few days were some of the darkest I’ve ever experienced. The grief, the panic, the feeling like I couldn’t breathe… like I couldn’t imagine a world without Rob in it.

But even in that darkness, something—someone—led us to hope.

Through the grace of God and the power of connection, we were put in touch with a man from St. John, Indiana, who had nearly the same diagnosis as Rob—if not worse. He had 16 tumors, was also being treated at the University of Chicago, and was told he had six months to live. That same man is now cancer-free.

He shared his story with me for hours. His turning point? A doctor in New York named Dr. Brock Hewitt and a revolutionary treatment called histotripsy—a non-invasive, focused ultrasound that mechanically destroys cancerous tissue.

After what I can only describe as a night of relentless prayer, tears, and begging—yes, I hunted down every contact possible including Dr. Hewitt’s personal line—we received a call this morning from Dr. Hewitt himself. He heard Rob’s story. He felt our desperation. And without hesitation, he is getting us to New York immediately.

We will be flying out this Sunday morning to begin treatment.

This is, without a doubt, the most hopeful breakthrough we’ve had on this journey. Dr. Hewitt’s team has made us feel more seen, more safe, and more comforted than we’ve felt in weeks. This treatment has a 95% success rate, and our hearts are finally beating with something we haven’t felt in a while: belief.

We know this won’t be easy. But we finally feel like we’re on a path toward fighting—not just surviving.
