Corinne had an instant connection with Max, her oncologist. They shared the love of, and the talent to, create music. And there was all the science, research and medical lingo which filled their conversations whether they were discussing Corinne's care or any other topic that sparked an interest in either of them. This was a wonder to witness which left me feeling proud of Rin and grateful for Max as well as all the workers at the Jimmy Fund Clinic.
My hope is that someday with the work of researchers at DFCI like Kim Stegmaier there will be more successful treatments and even a cure for rhabdomyosarcoma. No person, let alone a young one, deserves to suffer and lose their life, no family should feel the sharp and unrelenting loss of their loved one, when they deserve so much more of life and have so much more love to give.
