Brent’s Story

Site created on September 4, 2021

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.


Brent's journey began in December 2020. After numerous tests, appointments, scans, biopsies, surgeries and hospitalizations at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, he was finally diagnosed with peripheral T cell lymphoma on April Fool's Day, 2021, four months after his first hospitalization. He completed six rounds of chemo with the last one being in July. He never fully recovered as we had hoped and sadly his cancer has returned.
