Roger Sarver Benefit


Western New York native, Roger Sarver, former employee of the now defunct
Ashford Concrete, and bus driver for Springville Griffith Institute has been
diagnosed with Adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas. According to the
American Medical Association (AMA), “Adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas is
a rare but particularly virulent variant of invasive ductal carcinoma.” In
layman terms it refers to a new growth which will invade surrounding tissues,
metastasize (spread to other organs) and in Roger’s case will eventually lead to
his death.



Roger and his family, wife Darlene, an elementary teacher in the Gowanda school
district, and his three children; Daniel, Roxanne and Carrianne are painfully
aware of the prognosis. They realize that Roger suffers from the fifth leading
cause of cancer death in the United States, with approximately 28,000 Americans
dieing from cancer of the pancreas annually. This disease is not only becoming
common, it is also exceptionally difficult to treat. Surgical removal
("resection") of the cancer is currently the only chance for a cure for these
patients; unfortunately for Roger, this therapy is not an option.

Pancreatic cancer often "strikes" quickly, leaving patients and relatives to
deal with sensitive issues they are totally unprepared for. The family must
watch their loved one as he heroically faces the pain and tribulations of daily
life with the disease. Roger must deal with not only the pain and fatigue but
also with the bleak future of leaving his family unattended in a world that is
no longer safe and secure.

The family must deal with accepting the loss of a loved one, while attempting to
make his time manageable and memorable. They will indeed begin to deal with
Caregiver stress, a daily fact of life for far too many caregivers. Caregiving
often takes a great deal of time, effort, and work, it is a struggle to balance
caregiving with other responsibilities including full-time jobs and caring for
children. This Constant stress can lead to "burnout" and health problems for the
caregiver, leaving them feeling guilty, frustrated, and angry from time to time.

The burden to Roger and his family also includes the loss of Roger’s financial
status. Presently Roger is receiving no disability and his means to receive
disability are looking bleak. The stress of a terminal disease has already
engulfed this family of normally active, civic minded individuals.

Roger has left his mark of friendship on many. Students will recall their bus
driver; many will recall the Over the Road Truck Driver that made them smile.
The former manager of Dinah’s Family Restaurant in Springville is an active
member of the Springville Field and Stream Club, Western New York Trap League
and the Assembly of God Church in Springville. Roger loves to hunt and fish, but
most of all he loves the quality time he has with his family, a time that has
ungraciously been cut short.

Roger and his family have always been active in assisting others in their
community. Now, friends, neighbors and acquaintances are gathering to give back
to Roger and his family some of what this family has, over the years, offered to
the community. While this group cannot extend the life of Roger, nor assist with
the emotional stress of Roger’s prognosis, they can assist in alleviating the
financial burden of Roger’s illness.



                                                       



 

Friends have planned a benefit for Roger and his family to be held at the
Springville Fire Hall on March 23, 2003. A Chicken Bar-B-Que will be held from
11:30 to 2:00. Bar-B-Ques will be $7.00 each.

Following the Bar-B-Que, friends will be hosting a jamboree from 3:00 until
9:00, bands included are Wild Fire, The Doerfel’s and Ozone Rangers,
refreshments will be available. A Chinese Auction will be held throughout the
day. Tickets at $10.00 per person will be available at the door; presale tickets
are available at Emerling Ford on Cascade Drive in Springville.

Those wishing to donate merchandise for the Chinese Auction, time, etc should
email Brenda Issues will forward all mail to the chairperson.

A special fund has been set up for financial donations to the family. Persons
wishing to assist may send their donations to:
