CRL Foundation Patient Testimony, 2017

When cancer hits a family, it turns everything upside down in an instant. In this brief but deeply moving video, we hear directly from a husband named Obina, who opens up about the challenging reality his family has faced since his wife suffered a cancer relapse about a year ago. Facing a relapse is an incredibly heavy burden to carry, but their subsequent treatment journey brought both immense hope and steep new hills to climb.


Their path toward recovery took a pivotal turn in late December 2016, when Obina's wife began a specialized treatment protocol under the dedicated care of Dr. Nezami. The impact of this new approach was incredibly encouraging right from the start. Her condition improved dramatically, and the family watched with overwhelming relief as most of her tumor blood markers dropped to remarkably low levels compared to where they first started.


However, the fight against cancer rarely follows a straight line. Recently, the family encountered new hurdles that required them to step up the frequency of her treatments due to new developments noticed in her brain. While medically necessary, these frequent sessions brought an immense, unexpected financial burden along with them. In their moment of greatest need, Dr. Nezami and the foundation kindly stepped in to provide direct support, proving that no family has to face this daunting disease entirely alone.


Obina’s heartfelt story is a powerful reminder of why groundbreaking research and immediate patient support networks matter so much to real people in real-time.
