Randy’s Story

Site created on April 19, 2018

Our great love story started just over six years ago when we met in graduate school at the University of Oregon.  Although we had to live apart for a year after finishing school, we still found our way back to each other and were finally able to start our lives together. We bought our first house and got engaged in August, while loving every minute we were finally able to spend together. However, every great love story has its hated character.


In February Randy started having severe chest pains, but doctors kept brushing it off as costochondritis and prescribing him more pain medications. The chest pains began to be accompanied by intense night sweats, fevers, and general fatigue. Finally, we went to a walk in clinic with a long list of symptoms and the doctor finally listened to us and sent us to the emergency room where the doctors began to suspect that Randy had leukemia.

3 Years 5 Months

Journal entry by Angela Seligman —

We are on our way back from another trip to the Mayo Clinic and have more good news to share.

Randy got a PET Scan yesterday and everything came back clean - no cancer detected!

Randy and I are both fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 and have continued to stay safe through the pandemic.

Randy is back on a medication to protect his liver because his blood test started showing a spike in his liver function tests. The medication is working well and the blood results have improved again.

We hope everyone has an enjoyable New Year’s Eve and a happy new year!

Love you all!
