Ron Duguay's Cancer Fight: High-Dose Vitamin C Therapy

Former NHL player Ron Duguay is currently undergoing treatment for stage IV colon cancer. The 68-year-old athlete recently shared a video update on his health journey, detailing his 'upgraded' treatment plan. Duguay is receiving high-dose Vitamin C therapy via an IV, with his intake escalating to 75 grams daily. He aims to strengthen his immune system and overcome the illness, expressing a strong desire to reach the finish line. Duguay was diagnosed in December 2024. His family recently launched a GoFundMe to help manage the financial burdens associated with his treatment. His daughter, Shay Thomas, revealed it took months to persuade him to accept financial assistance. The fundraiser has since garnered over $112,000. Thomas explained that her father, who once comfortably provided for himself, could no longer work due to his severe illness. Critics have questioned how Duguay, a former NHL player, faced financial hardship. Thomas defended their situation, stating that illnesses often bring unforeseen financial strain. She highlighted the unwavering support from Sarah Palin, Duguay's long-term partner, who has been a constant presence during his health challenges, even staying with him in the hospital.
