Benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!
CATHY'S STORY
Cathy's journey with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma began in Feb 1996, six years before her official diagnosis. In
1996, she raised $3200 for LLS, possibly sensing her future battle. In Nov 2011, she developed symptoms and
underwent treatment at Cleveland Clinic from 2012 to 2013, managing chemo and hair loss. She never
complained and continued to work full time and teaching reading to underprivileged children one day a week
during her scheduled lunch. And she continued to run at least 20 to 30 miles per week.
In Dec 2013, Cathy opted for an aggressive bone cell transplant. Despite the three-week sterile procedure, she
remained active, walking the halls, spreading smiles, and resumed work and her normal physical activities, which
included running, hiking, water aerobics, and yoga,post-release.
2014 brought ups and downs. Although she did not receive any further chemo, she required periodic scans and
remained on medication for her lymphoma. Her attitude was great and Cathy managed a trip to New Hampshire,
where she hiked to the top of Mount Washington. In the fall she hiked Sedona and the Grand Canyon.
In 2018, a scan revealed aggressive lymphoma B-cells, leading to a CART T Cell procedure in Columbus for three
weeks. Cathy's resilience was evident as she exercised daily, read books, and attended events during recovery.
2019 to July 2023 involved emotional roller coasters with drug trials and chemotherapy, leading to hospital
stays. Cathy's unwavering faith, commitment to Mass, and plans for future activities showcased her courage.
Her greatest hope was to witness her eldest granddaughter’s wedding day someday.
Despite her challenging "fight," Cathy embraced life, served others, and raised thousands of dollars for LLS to
help other people. Sadly Cathy lost her fight and she symbolically transitioned from bearing her "cross" to
wearing her "crown."
