Jonathan Hatheway Farkas Oncology Patient Gift
The word cancer often causes great emotion and fear. Though it feels like your world has stopped, a cancer patient and their family must adapt and fight this life-threatening disease in their daily lives.
A cancer diagnosis may often have significant financial impacts on the patient and their family, including increased medical costs and additional time off from work which could result in lost wages.
The Jonathan Hatheway Farkas Oncology Patient Gift will specifically support Ellis Medicine Oncology|Roswell Park patients receiving treatment for a rare cancer.
The gift has been established by the family of Jonathan H. Farkas, who heroically battled Adrenocortical Carcinoma Cancer and was under the care of Ellis Medicine and Roswell Park providers.
Jonathan bravely battled Adrenocortical Carcinoma Cancer and was under the care of Ellis Medicine. When Jonathan was diagnosed he and his family realized there was little support offered to those battling rare cancers. Knowing that cancer treatment can cause both emotional and financial stress, Jonathan’s family is giving back to those who are fighting a difficult diagnosis to remember their beloved son and brother.
