Robert was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in August of 2022. He underwent treatment with four different chemotherapy regimens under the direction of Dr. Eileen O'Reilly. Robert actually looked forward to going into either Commack or 53rd Street infusion centers for treatment because he was received by everyone with such friendliness, warmth, and compassion. Dr. O'Reilly and her team treated Robert and not just his disease. As the result, Robert was able to travel to Iceland, Aruba, Vail, Palm Springs, Holland and Belgium on a Viking cruise without interupting his cancer treatment. Robert and myself are both incredibly grateful to MSK for this past year and encourage all who love Robert to please support MSK's ongoing effort to investigate more effective treatment for pancreatic cancer.
