Please join us in supporting Jeremy on his journey to health after his stomach cancer diagnosis. For the past two years Jeremy has done very well and treatment has been effective. But recently a small amount of cancer has spread to the base of his liver/bile duct, affecting its ability to function. This could become a serious issue if it isn’t dealt with soon. Thankfully we’ve learned about an advanced treatment called Nanoknife, which routinely has wonderful success in treating situations like his. Jeremy is seeing a surgeon who specializes in this procedure and we are very optimistic about the outcome.
On the financial side, the hospital’s charges are covered by insurance but the surgery itself is not covered and is a 100% out-of-pocket expense, along with travel costs etc. Any support you can give, no matter how big or small, is a blessing to their family.
We covet your support in the form of prayer and encouragement even more than financial. We are praying for healing, but above all we are resting in God’s will and trusting that He will glorify himself through this process.
***UPDATE: 9/10/26
First, first, we wanted to thank everyone who contributed towards this procedure! Your generosity and prayers have meant so much to the Bergstrom family.
We are grateful to share an encouraging update on Jeremy’s treatment.
Yesterday, Wednesday, Jeremy underwent the NanoKnife procedure to treat the tumor next to his bile duct. The procedure appears to have been very successful as the surgeon was able to eliminate the tumor.
The doctor was also able to collect several biopsy samples from Jeremy’s abdominal cavity. These samples came back negative for cancer. While this does not necessarily mean that Jeremy is cancer free, it is certainly an encouraging sign.
Jeremy also had a PET scan the day before the procedure. It was clear except for the spot near the bile duct that was treated yesterday. We understand that this result does not tell us everything. However, we are still receiving it as another positive and hopeful sign.
We are incredibly grateful that the procedure went well, and we pray that this is another meaningful step in the right direction for Jeremy’s healing. Thank you all so much for your generosity, love, and continued prayers. Your support means more to Jeremy and our entire family than we can adequately express. We will continue to update this page as we are able.
