After being diagnosed with stage 4 gastric cancer, Bob’s care team turned to liquid biopsy testing to monitor his response to treatment. By tracking changes in his tumor DNA through a simple blood draw, they were able to adjust therapy and stay proactive. Bob’s story underscores how innovation and persistence can bring clarity and hope in even the most complex diagnoses.

In this emotional and inspiring story, Bob Patterson, a 49-year-old husband and father of two, shares his journey after being diagnosed with gastric (stomach) cancer in 2024.

From the first symptoms and shocking diagnosis to the challenges of chemotherapy, treatment changes, and clinical trials, Bob’s story is one of perseverance, faith, and resilience. Despite the ups and downs, he continues to find strength in helping others, advocating for early screening, and supporting fellow patients who are newly diagnosed.
