Brian's Enderle's Sudden Fight against Cancer

Hi, My name is Kim Zander, and I’m fundraising for my dearest friend Brian and his family. Brian, in mid-September 2022, was admitted to the hospital for nausea and stomach pain. The doctors found a mass on his pancreas and a blocked bile duct. They put a stint in the bile duct, hoping the pain would subside and did a biopsy on the mass, which was deemed benign. Brian was told to follow up with his GI doctor. When he saw his GI doctor, the doctor explained, in his opinion, that the mass was presenting as a possibility of cancer. Upon this, he went to the Siteman Cancer Center for more testing on October 6, 2022.

On October 11, upon receiving the results of the tests, Brian and Mary’s world came crashing down. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer or Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.

Brian is a loving husband and father. He valued his time in the Marine Corps and takes enormous pride in Jake’s success in Marine Corps Bootcamp. Jake is following in his father’s footsteps, and Brian could not be more proud of his son. Mary, the love of his life, has been a saint to Brian and their children. She is kind, loving and supportive. They have done many things in the community and are active in helping veterans from all walks of life. They both have hearts of gold!

Words cannot express the heartache I feel for him and his family. So with this, I have started this GoFundMe account to ease the burden on Mary, Jake and Angela. Mary, his wife of 21 years, is in sales. His daughter Angela, 26, is currently a morning news anchor in Bangor, Maine. Jake, 19, is in Marine Corps boot camp and graduating from basic training on December 9th.

Over the following days, weeks, and months, Brian and his family will be at countless doctor appointments, hospital stays and treatments. As you can imagine, the average costs of everyday living...mortgage, food, gas, car, etc... the medical expenses can be unobtainable.

Your help will enable Mary and his family to concentrate on Brian’s fight against this wicked disease.

From the bottom of my heart, I humbly ask that you share this link with friends and family to possibly help this wonderful family in their fight to sustain Brian’s life and help alleviate a fraction of the burden on them. ( Any amount will help)

I thank you for your support and appreciate every one of you!
