Patrick’s Story

Site created on June 21, 2019

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.


In late May, Patrick was diagnosed with a synovial sarcoma in his leg. Sarcomas are soft tissue cancers and account for less than 1% of all cancer diagnoses with fewer than 1000 people a year diagnosed with synovial sarcoma. Fortunately, the cancer had not spread but will require chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery over the next few months.
