Derek Fisher

A few people commented on Facebook that Derek Fisher’s daughter has the same disease as Rowan. Unlike Rowan’s case, they were able to use a radical procedure (injecting chemo drugs directly into the eye) to save his daughter’s eye. Even if our doctor used such a method (and I don’t believe he does), Rowan wouldn’t have benefited from this–her tumor’s location would have pretty much eradicated any chance to see out of the eye again.

Derek Fisher contacted us during Rowan’s illness to make sure that we were satisfied with our medical care and to inquire into whether we financially needed assistance for her treatment. We responded that we were happy with our care and that we fortunately did have insurance.

Still, his kindness pretty much necessitates that I root for one Laker this postseason. But only one.
