About Dean O'Neill's commitment to research
After Dean was diagnosed with renal cell cancer, he kept an optimistic attitude towards fighting it. He was relentless in educating himself about the disease and different treatment protocols. His determination and strength provided inspiration, support, and information to many other cancer patients. Given only a few months to live when diagnosed, he survived the disease for many years, thanks in part to the treatments by Dr. Childs' lab. Dean's brave fight provided valuable information to further the search for a cure for renal cell cancer.
