Blood Cancer United

My father was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2020. He went through rounds of chemo treatment that didn't solve the problem and then was afforded an opportunity to undergo T-cell therapy, which relieved him and put him in remission. It was only two years later that we found out that Dad had precursors to leukemia, and in July of 2024, we were told that he had six months. Dad fought every step of the way and is a huge inspiration in my life. The entire time that he was undergoing less than pleasant treatments and was even at his physical worst, the only thing he wanted to know was if he was going to drive again. He was a sweet man and is severely missed.
