Philip Greipp

My wife, Kathleen, and I met Phil for a second opinion on my cancer, multiple myeloma. His intelligence, kindness and compassion reinforced his valuable advice. That was over 25 years ago. Phil and I stayed in contact and became friends. At one crucial point, my local oncologist told me there was nothing left that could control the cancer. He said to go to a hospice. Instead, I called Phil and asked for advice. He advised me to enter a clinical trial for an experimental drug showing promising results for very sick myeloma patients like me. The clinical trial saved my life; the drug is now called Velcade and Phil is the reason I did not die 2 decades ago. We miss you but will never forget you, Phil. Jim Bond [email protected]
