Gregory was diagnosed with high-risk multiple myeloma a few months after experiencing lower back pain. He was diagnosed in July 2021 and achieved remission in October of the same year.
After researching and finding a multiple myeloma specialist, he chose to have his transplant at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. The transplant was successful, but he experienced complications including engraftment syndrome, resulting in a high fever and further hospitalization.
In this story, he discusses how exercise, a healthy diet, and support from his family helped him recover. His post-transplant tests have shown no cancer cells in his body, and he emphasizes the importance of appreciating life, spending time with loved ones, and not taking anything for granted.
