About Us
- Pat and Pattie Killingsworth
- Weeki Wachee, Florida, United States
- Pat and Pattie are both cancer survivors. Pat was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in April, 2007 at the age of fifty-one. There is currently no cure for this cancer of the plasma cells that are found in bone marrow. Pat achieved a three year remission after intense steroid, radiation and oral chemotherapy. Unfortunately, Pat's multiple myeloma slowly crept back. He underwent a stem cell transplant in the summer of 2011--at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa--which unfortunately didn't work. But a three drug chemo cocktail of Revlimid, Velcade and dexamethasone is keeping his myeloma under control so far. Pat's wife, Pattie, was first diagnosed with cancer in 1996. She is a cervical, uterine and ovarian cancer survivor. Despite a close call in 2009, Pattie remains cancer free today. She works with cancer patients at a Florida dialysis clinic. Pat is an author and freelance medical writer. He travels often, attending important medical conferences and speaking to cancer support groups. The Killingsworth's have dedicated their lives to helping other cancer patients and survivors learn to cope with their disease.
