Lynn is
Blood Cancer United

My wife, Lynn Isaacson, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in October 2018. After three failed treatment approaches, she passed away on March 26, 2019, 162 days after diagnosis.

From her diagnosis to her death, just 162 days passed. Of the 20,220 days she lived here on Earth, and the 12,047 days we loved each other on Earth – the disease was only with us for 162 days. And I can tell you that on every one of those days, she found reasons to smile, to laugh and to love.

The greatest honor to Lynn will come when no one loses their wife, their daughter, their mom, their friend to this horrible disease.
