Liam Slattery

In July 2015, Liam was diagnosed with a condition called hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, a life-threatening immunodeficiency which landed him in the hospital. While undergoing treatment, further testing revealed Liam also had hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma. Liam began treatment at Dana-Farber right away. Liam’s treatment has included chemotherapy and radiation. He also had a bone marrow transplant and is now in remission. Liam loves sports, especially Boston teams. He enjoys playing lacrosse, basketball and soccer.  Liam is close with Caitlin, who actually took care of him during the annual Red Sox Spring Training trip. He has a sister, Elizabeth, 27, and a brother, Connor 26. Liam has had a few health setbacks, but he is hoping to resume nursing school in the fall at Salem State.Caitlin has worked in the Jimmy Fund Clinic at Dana-Farber for 6 years. She worked at Boston Children’s on the Bone Marrow Transplant unit for 8 years, then came to Dana-Farber after having her son. Caitlin met Liam before his bone marrow transplant and says they hit off right away. They found a common bond in talking about Fairfield University where he was a student and she is an alumnus. Caitlin has been caring for Liam ever since, including being his nurse on the annual Red Sox Spring Training trip.
