Steve's Story

THROUGH RESEARCH AND DONOR SUPPORT, STEVE HAS MORE TOMORROWS WITH HIS FAMILY.

Steve is a 43-year-old husband and father of two. He’s a high school teacher who pours his energy into the classroom, coaches sports, and makes time to stay active, all while prioritizing his young family. He also lives with blood cancer.

Steve’s cancer story begins in the fall of 2018. He was losing energy and by the holiday season he was seriously ill. After blood work and a bone marrow biopsy here at CancerCare Manitoba, Steve was diagnosed with multiple myeloma.

He was critically ill and needed to start treatment within days.

After 16 intense weeks of therapy, a stem cell transplant, and a long hospital stay, Steve reached remission. His children were just two and four when he was diagnosed the first time. This was the relief his family needed.

But the cancer returned.

What gives him strength is knowing that new options are on the horizon, based on years of research made possible by the partnership between the Paul Albrechtsen Research Institute CancerCare Manitoba, and donors of the Foundation.

Thankfully, this partnership meant that new and innovative treatments were available right here in Manitoba. Steve qualified for a clinical trial to receive CAR T-cell therapy. This treatment pushed his cancer into remission once again, something he is grateful for.
