Dave’s Story

Site created on April 6, 2018

On  October 24, 2017, Dave was diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer.  After a two week stay in a Cumberland hospital with Dave, we all headed to my home in Ellicott City.  We moved Dave back to Ellicott City and began a fight with the best doctors and this awful disease. After six months of the strongest chemo available, we were told that his tumor had not shrunk and in fact had actually grown in size.. The doctors at Hopkins have recently  stopped chemo and hospice has been contacted.  Dave continues to fight very hard and still has a good sprit and his sense of humor. Currently, he is home bound and would welcome hearing from any of you.  Feel free to leave messages, pictures, and memories we can share with Dave.. Thank you for all of your prayers and support!!
