Super Survivor Andrew Schorr beat two blood cancers and is still fighting for patients
Grabbed some time with Andrew Schorr from Patient Power. Was great to hear about how he was one of the first cohort of patients to be treated with FCR chemotherapy for CLL, a form of blood cancer, a couple of decades ago.
He hadn’t expected to survive his Blood Cancer this long, nor to get a second one and be successfully treated for that too.
This is a story of hope. And a story of a man convinced that the Universe spared him for a purpose and a mission. As he said doctors better listen to him and his patient friends, or else! Be encouraged. Be inspired to give something back to the Blood Cancer community and to go on learning together.
