Synopsis

Jaimey was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2008. He was treated and received a clean bill of health and remained cancer-free. In May 2015, a routine blood donation led to a life-changing discovery when the Red Cross director urged him to seek immediate medical attention. Jaimey was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), which, contrary to its typical slow progression, advanced rapidly in his case. Jaimey remained active, cycling and running to maintain his mental well-being.However, six to nine months ago, his CLL numbers began to rise again, promptingdiscussions about future treatments. Although his white blood cell count is high and he has low antibodies, making illnesses particularly severe, Jaimey remains optimistic with Dana-Farber's support. After obtaining an A.B. cum laude in chemistry at Harvard College, Dr. Davidscompleted his M.D. cum laude at Yale University School of Medicine. He served as an intern, resident, and assistant chief resident in internal medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian
