A blood cancer patient shares a warm, supportive moment with another person in a studio setting, standing close with hands gently held. The scene reflects compassion, encouragement, and human connection during the cancer journey.

In October 2025, my dad suffered from a seizure while at the gym. Luckily, he was around people who were able to call 911 and get him to a hospital quickly. We later learned he had a malignant brain tumor, which was then tested for several weeks, and we were given many different answers as to what it could be. Once we finally found out it was CNS lymphoma, we were eager to start treatment and fight this disease together. He began chemotherapy treatment this week, and we are ready to take on the long and challenging road ahead.
