Help my husband David Beat Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer – Round 2

We Erased It Once. Let’s Fry It Again.

Goal: $30,000

Story

The Miracle You Already Gave Me

On my 60th birthday, I ate ice cream cake and felt like the luckiest man alive — because just months earlier, I was declared 100% cancer-free from stage IV pancreatic cancer.

You made that happen.

Then the Numbers Started Climbing

Northstar blood test: cancer DNA detectable again.

CA 19-9: under 600 in September → almost 6,000 today.

The pain is back. Appetite gone. This week, I’m the guy in the car with a vomit bag while Michelle and my best friend Matt try to enjoy holiday lights.

We Know Exactly How to Beat This — We Did It Once

Same aggressive chemo that melted my tumors last time + another NanoKnife procedure with Dr. Robert Donoway in Florida (the surgeon who already “fried” my last tumor once).

The Only Roadblock: Insurance Said No — Again

They denied the intensified chemo cycles and still call NanoKnife “experimental” for pancreatic cancer — even though it saved my life and is approved for other cancers.

Where Every Dollar Goes (Real Numbers)

$14,000 → Chemotherapy cycles insurance refuses to cover

$11,000 → NanoKnife procedure + hospital fees

$3,500 → Flights & lodging for me + Michelle (my full-time caregiver)

$1,500 → Medications, nutrition, scans

My Team Is Ready — We Just Need You One More Time

Michelle’s unbreakable positivity.

Dr. Donoway standing by.

My oncologist watching the markers like a hawk.

And every one of you who already proved miracles are real.

Please Help Me Make It to Christmas 2026

$25, $50, $100 — anything moves us closer.

If you can’t give, a share is just as powerful (it was last time).

Let’s fry this thing — again.

Forever grateful,

David Erickson

Michelle ❤️
