Adam Frey’s Cancer is Back
I usually get to write about happy things, like Chris Lytle’s head leaking blood like a sieve, or the precious Jake Dietchler. I have written about Adam Frey in the past, with good news, that his cancer is gone.
Today, the news is not as good. A small piece of Adam’s cancer is back, and the doctors fear that the cancer is chemo-resistant. He is trying to get into an experimental program at Sloan-Kettering. Apparently, the chemo actually kills some people, but Adam is expected to survive because he is young and (besides the cancer) healthy. Nonetheless, the treatment sounds like hell, and he is going to need all of our support.
Of course, Adam’s attitude is nothing short of remarkable. He has vowed to beat the cancer, again:
I would not be a man of my word if I let this beat me. In fact, if I helped and did all of those great things that you all say, I would be doing an injustice to you all for losing this. You have given me so much support. It would be wrong on my part to pack it in.
I find it incredible that he is focused on living so that he keeps a promise to us. If you haven’t bought an Adam Frey shirt , or made a donation, please do so now. Trips to NYC for treatment at Sloan-Kettering will add up quickly, so Adam and his family could really use our help. Stop by his blog, too, and give him some kind words. He and his family could use it.
