Patient Testimonial

Oren Wiener shares his story about being diagnosed and treated for a rare, aggressive blood cancer (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) at Stony Brook Cancer Center. Hematologist Oncologist Christina Lee, MD, explains Oren’s care began in the Emergency Department after he experienced excruciating pain that day. Once tests confirmed the diagnosis, treatment had to move at a quick pace for an optimal outcome, including a bone marrow transplant to eliminate any trace of the disease. Oren’s motivation to become cancer-free was to return to his wife and two daughters’ daily life with family-filled activities. Oren and his family are forever grateful for the extraordinary care he received.
