“It is very tough hearing the word ‘cancer’. It can be, and still is a terrifying diagnosis.” — Chris Taylor
Chris was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and feared the worst.
When his health began to decline due to the side effects of his chemotherapy treatments, Chris was referred to Dr. Messner and the team at The Princess Margaret.
From their first meeting, Chris was informed that he needed a stem cell transplant in order to save his life. The odds of survival were 50/50, but only if they could find a matching stem cell donor first.
This was no easy task.
Thankfully, Chris’s doctors at The Princess Margaret did find an almost perfect match, Chris’s 19-year-old son, Patrick.

What an incredible gift to me from my son. Even now, I still get emotional when I talk about it. It’s absolutely awe-inspiring.
Thousands of patients like Chris rely on the combined benefits of breakthrough research, leading-edge technology, and unparalleled care at The Princess Margaret, one of the top five cancer research centres in the world.
It’s been 20 years since Chris first received that dreadful diagnosis. Today, he has watched his sons grow into men and has experienced many beautiful moments with his grandchildren.
This incredibly high level of care would not be possible without the support of compassionate people like you.
