REID STRONG

Reid Levin is a writer, an actor, and a comedian. He lived in NYC until 2007, when he was diagnosed with leukemia. Since then, he's been home in Denver, Colorado, recovering from his three-and-a-half year battle with cancer (round 1) and all the many complications he suffered (you can read more on his blog at reidlevin.net).

On January 6, 2015, the eve of the 7th anniversary of Reid going into remission ("REIDMISSION"), Reid received the much-dreaded phone call instructing him to get to the ER immediately. Based on labs taken late in the day, a doctor called to report that the leukemia is back and the leukemic cells are multiplying quickly.  

Reid was admitted into University of Colorado Hospital and began receiving a drug to quash the cancer cells. His bone marrow was aspirated and was found to be 90% leukemic. Although Reid will once again suffer from "chemo brain," we are confident he will retain his brilliance and sense of humor. 

Many great minds are working on finding the best treatments for the best outcomes. After several working models, it was decided to hit the cancer with traditional chemotherapies, followed by a bone marrow transplant from his sister. Reid is now undergoing his 4th (and hopefully last) round of chemotherapy.
