Overview
- Duguay, 68, is publicly battling Stage IV cancer that began in his colon, with surgeries leading to the removal of his appendix and gallbladder and spread to the liver reported by his family.
- His daughter says he was approved this week for a medical trial aimed at helping T cells better fight cancer following a recent spike in his cancer markers.
- A GoFundMe launched by his daughters on Feb. 24–25 quickly exceeded its initial $26,000 goal and an updated $50,000 target, with the total surpassing $98,000 as of Thursday.
- The family moved his care closer to his daughters in Orange County after earlier treatment in Florida was described as dangerous, and he now flies from Florida to California every two weeks for ongoing care.
- Duguay continues chemotherapy and other conventional care while also pursuing a range of alternative therapies and exploring options outside the United States, with girlfriend Sarah Palin seen supporting him during hospital stays.
