WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon

Dave Dombrowski joins Dale and Rich at Fenway for the second day of the Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon.

Carley was diagnosed in July 2010 after having seizures.

Her treatment has included surgery and chemotherapy.

Her hobbies include swimming, science experiments, arts & crafts, and playing with dolls.

She attends the Thomas Prince School in Princeton.

Her family includes her parents, Cheryl and Michael; twin brother, Jonas, and little brother, Kyle

About her friendship with Amanda: They like to party, laugh, and have fun. Her favorite memories are playing in the photo booth and their dance parties.

When Carley grows up, she wants to be a florist.

Amanda has been at the Jimmy Fund Clinic for about 3 ½ years, but within the oncology “family” for 6 ½.

Amanda and Carley have had some pretty epic dance parties (she loves rock n’ roll), lots of silly times in photo booths, and countless laughs during arts and crafts, eating lunch and games. Carley makes Amanda laugh every single time she sees her. Carley's mom and dad have also been spectacular to Amanda throughout the years. Cheryl, Carley’s mom, is always up for talking travels and always asks about Amanda and her family. The Adams’ are just a great family who love each other very much. And whenever they’re at the Clinic, Amanda feels like an extended member of their family.

In May 2014, after having pneumonia symptoms that wouldn’t go away, tests finally showed David had lung cancer.

David's hobbies include cycling and playing softball.

David is supported by his wife, a brother; a sister; 2 step-children, and a step-granddaughter.

He works as a constable.

David says of his cancer, "It was a very difficult time in my life, but now that I’ve had such great success with this drug trial, life is very good again. Dana-Farber has been very good to me, and especially Dr. Khanh Do and Andrew Wolanski NP. They are very special to me and my family."

David was one of Dr. Do’s first patients at Dana-Farber. He is one of the EDDC success stories where the doctor and his team were able to match the right drug to the right patient at the right time.

His tumor had a rare mutation that Dr. Do and his team were able to identify and match to a trial drug that was specifically being developed just for that mutation.

The effects of the drug were almost immediate, and he was able to wean off oxygen in a few days after starting the drug.
