Ron Duguay Battles Cancer: Family Seeks Help Through GoFundMe
Ron Duguay, a former New York Rangers hockey player, is battling Stage 4 cancer and has turned to GoFundMe for support due to the high costs of treatment. His family is seeking $26,000 to help cover these expenses.
Ongoing Treatment and Relocation
Duguay's daughter Shay explained that due to earlier complications with treatment in Florida, they moved him to Orange County for care. He now travels there every two weeks from Florida.
The financial burden includes travel, medical care, holistic therapies, and alternative treatments he is pursuing. The family is also considering options outside the United States.
Duguary's Battle with Cancer
Diagnosed a year ago, Duguay has already lost his appendix and gallbladder to cancer that started in the colon. His daughters encouraged the fundraising effort despite his reluctance to ask for help.
He expressed how taxing both financially and physically the battle has been, sharing his intent to explore all treatment options available.
A Personal Mission
Duguay voiced determination to recover so he can aid others with similar struggles. He plans to combine alternative and Western medical approaches and hopes his experiences will be beneficial to others in the future.
An emotional video on Instagram highlights his journey through hospital stays and family support during this challenging time.
