Dad’s fighting cancer. His PCP bought us all Dodger hats to cheer him on!
My dad is 71. He’s a born and raised in LA fan. His dad (my grandpa) is from Brooklyn, so this team has been passed down for generations. He’s the biggest dodger fan I know (he went to the first game at Dodger stadium when it opened and I think has watched about every single game on tv ever).
Unfortunately a month ago, my dad was diagnosed with the most aggressive lung cancer. The last few days he declined, until our Primary Dr. stepped in to advocate, and over the weekend he improved drastically!
My dad and his Dr. have known each other for approx 17 years and my dad never once misses a moment to talk about the Dodgers. When he came by the hospital two days ago we talked about becoming a team like the dodgers to fight this cancer. I said we’d kick cancer’s butt like we did with the Yankees. So today he comes by and he’s brought all of us hats to cheer him on. My dad smiled for the first time in days and he’s super motivated to keep fighting. I’m also thinking of getting some custom made jerseys for all of us to wear as well 💙
