AceShowbiz - Erik Jensen has been diagnosed with stage four colon cancer. Less than two years after surviving a brain aneurysm, the former star of "The Walking Dead" learned of his diagnosis which requires him to do "two very major surgeries."

The 53-year-old actor and filmmaker's wife Jessica Blank opened up about his diagnosis via a GoFundMe page titled "Help Erik & family make it through Stage 4 cancer." In a statement uploaded earlier in October, she penned, "The cancer has metastasized to his liver, but Erik is young and strong (cutting a film during chemo, working full-time as a director and writer throughout) and his doctors have a shot at shrinking the tumors enough to do two very major surgeries and get them all out."

"He is incredibly resilient and strong; Erik is a survivor," Jessica went on to write. "We know he can make it through this, come out the other side, and continue to make great work and support his community for years to come. But Erik and his family are in for the fight of their lives, and they need your support."

Jessica, who shares 13-year-old Sadie with Erik, further described their family's financial condition. "Erik wants to work through as much of his treatment as possible, but they are facing massive medical costs (co-pays, treatments not covered by insurance) and all the additional expenses associated with intensive treatment," she stated.

"The lack of streaming residuals has affected Erik's family profoundly in the past few years, as it has affected so many middle class working actors," she further shared. "Erik's aneurysm, the double strikes and now this diagnosis have put their family in an extremely precarious financial position and they need a lot of help to make it through the next year, pay for treatment to fight his cancer, keep their home, and maintain some sort of stability for Sadie."

Elsewhere in the page, Jessica described Erik's determination to win his battle with cancer. "Stage IV is not a death sentence, Erik is determined to make it through this, and he's working incredibly hard to stay positive and fight for the shot that his doctors know he has," she explained. She then added, "The family would greatly appreciate communications of success stories, positivity and hope."

As of Wednesday, October 25, Erik has received $107,421 from 750 donators. As mentioned on the website, the target of the donation is $300,000.
