Stories from Grateful Patients: Abdul

October 6, 2025

In His Own Words...

"In 2021, I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, and in 2024, a second cancer was diagnosed - Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. Dealing with two cancers is hard especially with all the side effects and financial cost."


"I needed to follow up on both cancers by doing blood work, and follow up with two specialists. They are located in New York City at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. It's a five-hour drive just going one way. The cost and stress of frequent, long drives to cancer treatment make it difficult."


"Mercy Medical Angels sent me gas cards so that I was able to afford driving to and from my treatments. A small push, like the gas cards from Mercy Medical Angels, would have a big effect on our lives as cancer patients. Sometimes we only need a small touch of kindness to feel that our lives matter."
