In 2022, Jeff Bolle, of Milwaukee, learned he had bile duct cancer, which has a dismal long-term survival rate. At the time, doctors hoped that surgery and chemotherapy could prolong his life. He was in good health prior to his diagnosis, which made everyone feel optimistic.
He underwent surgery and four rounds of chemotherapy before the chemotherapy shortage stopped his treatment in May 2023 — two rounds short.
As the months passed and his cancer progressed unchecked, Jeff Bolle became sicker. In late September 2023, doctors realized "there was really nothing else they could do, which was hard to hear," Connie Bolle recalls. There was no immunotherapy. There was no other chemotherapy."
Jeff Bolle died on Dec. 29, 2023, seven months after losing access to his chemo drugs.
