Joseph Daly
I’m an active guy. I like to fish, play golf, travel, dance, and go off-roading. When something goes wrong, rather than sitting around feeling bad, I do anything in my power to remedy the situation. In 2013, this philosophy was severely tested when I was diagnosed with a rare cancer.

Catherine Rosenberg
Catherine Rosenberg's cancer journey began in 1990 when she was eight years old. Diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, she underwent two surgical resections followed by the maximal radiation an adult can receive to one part of the body at the age of eight. The surgery was successful, though Catherine developed lymphedema as a side effect to the treatment. As the pain grew worse she was unable to work. After two additional surgeries in 2013 and 2014, Catherine feels she has her life back; she is pursuing a PhD and is regularly active doing the things she loves. "In 2016, almost a year after surgery, I knew it was the best medical decision I’ve made in my life. I’ve had an amazing experience with the compassionate and caring doctors, nurses, and nursing assistants at Fox Chase...I’m continuing therapy at Fox Chase to treat my lymphedema, and I recommend Fox Chase to anyone with a similiar prognosis."
