Episode notes
Shock Diagnosis And Emergency Chemotherapy
- Barton H. Dunn learned he had Stage 4 ALL when a routine blood test showed a white cell count of 300,000 and doctors told him he should be dead.
- He was ambulance-transferred to Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte and began daily chemotherapy for almost four months without an established protocol due to his extreme counts.
Use Faith Family And Daily Prayer For Endurance
- Lean on sustained faith, prayer, and family presence to endure grueling cancer treatment.
- Barton credits daily scripture reading, continuous prayer, and family visiting him every day as key supports during chemotherapy.
Early Transplant Patient Shows Progress In Medicine
- Barton was an early bone marrow transplant patient at Emory, being roughly patient number 535 when the program had far fewer transplants.
- Emory has since performed thousands of transplants, highlighting progress in treatment since 1993.
