Brian Judy is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet, and we (his daughters, Erin and Jessie) are blessed to call him Dad. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2022, he had surgery in 2023 and got back to living a normal life. Now, in fall 2024, the cancer has returned to the pancreas, along with small spots on the lungs. Since many have asked how they can help, we humbly created this opportunity for those who feel led to partner with us. Out-of-pocket treatment costs through the end of this year will total around $19,000, so that is our current goal.

At a young and active 67, our dad is always smiling, never complaining, and always eager to help. He loves Jesus, his family, his community, his country, and can often be found playing with or teaching something to his grandkids, who just so happen to adore him.

Pancreatic cancer’s reputation precedes it, and by traditional standards, he is already considered a success story for living these past two years…but we (and our amazing mom, Sandy) refuse to be ruled by fear and statistics, so we’re looking toward the future with hope.

Since standard treatment for pancreatic cancer has low success rates, our parents are working with an integrative cancer team who guides his care through traditional and alternative methods. Most recommended treatments are not covered by insurance, including Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT), a targeted chemo that blessedly does not wreak havoc on his entire system. (Standard chemo for pancreatic cancer is extremely harsh, often leaving patients too weak to fight any further. Brian once said he doesn’t feel he’d still be alive if he’d gone that route.)

Since diagnosis, our parents have been hit with an abundance of out-of-pocket expenses, and to continue this journey to health, our dad needs at least six more rounds of IPT (chemo). Added to his specially-prescribed at-home treatment costs, the total comes to around $19,000 through the end of the year. This lofty number is our current goal.

Would you consider partnering with us prayerfully and/or financially to support our dad’s journey down a road less taken as he strives to beat this cancer? We know God will provide and have seen him move in mighty ways through the prayers of his people, and now we ask for your help if so led. All contributions will be put directly toward medical costs.

Our parents, Brian and Sandy, want to add their acknowledgement that many people are struggling right now, and they would never want to take support from others in need. They also send a huge thanks to everyone who has been praying for them!

Jeremiah 30:17b says this: “'I will give you back your health and heal your wounds,' says the Lord." God is good, and we continue to trust him and walk in faith. Thanks for joining us on this journey to help our amazing dad, Brian Judy, regain the active and involved life he was meant to live!
