Charles (Chuck) Davis's Fight Against Cancer

Hi I am Becky Burrier.. sister to Anne and best sister in law to Chuck. I come to you our community to ask for help for Annie and Chuck.

Chuck and Anne find themselves in a situation they never thought they would face, and we are reaching out to you with heavy hearts. Our beloved Chuck has been dealt a devastating blow, and we are asking for your support in this time of great need.

Towards the end of January, Chuck's world turned upside down. He was not feeling well, and after a visit to the emergency room, our worst fears were confirmed. Chuck has Stage 4 cancer – a diagnosis that no one should ever have to hear. This merciless disease has spread to his liver, lungs, and abdomen wall, making it inoperable. Chuck is in the fight of his life, and we are determined to stand by his side every step of the way.

**Diagnosis (1/21/23):**

- Non-alcoholic Cirrhosis of the liver

- Stage 4 liver cancer that has metastasized to his lungs and abdomen wall

**Prognosis:**

The prognosis is not good. With aggressive treatment at the time of diagnosis, Chuck's doctors have given him a window of months to a year. Treatments gave Annie and Chuck time together. It gave them time to see friends and family. They made some memories and took the moments they needed.

Chuck's journey has not been easy. He regularly undergoes procedures to remove excess fluid from his abdomen, a painful process that takes a toll on his kidneys, leading to acute renal failure. His treatment is under the capable hands of Dr. Aponte at Texas Oncology - San Antonio Medical Center, and we are grateful for the dedication of the medical teams at Methodist Hospital and the South Texas Renal Care Group.

We've already witnessed some positive signs in Chuck's battle against this formidable foe. There was a slight reduction in the size of the liver tumor with treatment. However, one of the chemotherapy drugs has become too harsh for his kidneys to bear, making the road ahead even more challenging.

As if the current situation is not burdensome enough, due to his inability to work, Chuck no longer has group life insurance. With a cancer diagnosis, he is unable to obtain individual life insurance coverage. When his journey reaches its end, we know this will create an additional financial burden on Annie to cover funeral expenses.

Our hope is that with this campaign we can relieve some of this worry for them as they spend the time they have focused on each other.
