Olympian Swimmer Helps Cancer Survivors

Cancer Center Celebrities 25th Anniversary

Olympic swimmer and testicular cancer survivor Eric Shanteau will share his story of challenge and triumph as part of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the After Completion of Therapy Clinic of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

This month, the facility is marking a quarter of a century of service aimed at supporting and following survivors’ progress for decades after treatment. Shanteau, who underwent therapy last year, was diagnosed just one week before he was due to compete in the 2008 Olympic Games but was still able to participate and achieved a personal best time in the 200-meter breaststroke.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S., and the National Cancer Institute estimates that more than 1.4 million Americans will be diagnosed with it in 2009.

At the same time, treatments have become more successful, and gathering long-term data on survivors has become important to improving their quality of life and yielding scientific insights into new treatments, according to the hospital.

“It is important to remember that survivorship begins at the day of diagnosis. We consider all of our patients survivors,” says Dr. Melissa Hudson, co-leader of the Cancer Prevention and Control Program.

She adds the clinic’s main goal is to help people thrive despite their medical history. “We want them to see that, once they get through therapy, they can lead normal, productive lives,” Hudson emphasizes.

Those interested in supporting the hospital’s work may visit its website to offer a donation.

Meanwhile, patients facing a cancer diagnosis, as well as their families and friends, may access valuable informational resources through the American Cancer Society or the National Cancer Institute.

Firefighter of the week – Battalion Chief Division 3 Dennis L Devlin

Her Cheerleader

For 29 years, Dennis and Kathleen Devlin were man and wife, parents to four children. In a house on a small hill in upstate New York, they watched sunsets and laid plans to grow old together.

But Dennis Devlin, a battalion chief for the New York City Fire Department, is gone now, leaving Mrs. Devlin to try and hold on to their bond.

So, Chief. Devlin’s hobbies have become her hobbies. Every morning, she’s out on a three mile run, a habit she never cared for when her husband was alive, but one she hopes now will prepare her for a coming race that she is planning in his honor.

“I can hear him sometimes telling me not to get tired, pushing me,” she said.

It is also because of her husband that no day passes without Mrs. Devlin thumbing through one of the 23 photo albums Chief Devlin labored over, for decades, meticulously labeling and dating each photograph. (The last photo he ever entered, taken three months before Sept. 11, was one of him in a helicopter flying over Lower Manhattan, staring at the World Trade Center.)

“We complained about him taking so many pictures, everywhere we went,” she said. “But having those albums now is such a joy. We all look at them and think how blessed we are that he took the time and that we were a happy family.”
Profile published in THE NEW YORK TIMES on December 9, 2001.

Dennis L. Devlin, 51, a 23-year resident of Washingtonville, New York, a New York Fire Department battalion chief of the 3rd division in Manhattan, died at the World Trade Center on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Visitation is scheduled for Friday, September 28, 2001, 5-9 p.m., at David T. Ferguson Funeral Home Inc., 20 North Street, Washingtonville. Funeral services are scheduled for Saturday, September 29, 11 a.m., at St. Mary’s Church, Washingtonville. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are appreciated to Uniformed Firefighters Association of New York, Widows and Children’s Fund, 204 East 23rd Street, 5th Floor, NY, NY 10010 or Engine 75 Ladder 33, World Trade Center Fund, 2175 Walton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468. Arrangements entrusted to David T. Ferguson Funeral Home Inc., Washingtonville, New York.

Editor’s Note:
Hometown: Tucson, AZ
Awarded:Soldier’s Medal

Spc. Lemme and other soldiers were on a mission outside of Baghdad in October 2004 when a radio message alerted them that a tank had overturned into a canal. Lemme and three others went to investigate. They found an Abrams tank flipped over, with three soldiers trapped inside. Lemme and his team used tow cables attached to another tank to try and pull the overturned tank from the canal. While they were unable to haul the tank completely out of the water, the rescue team was able to raise it above the waterline. Lemme, a trained rescue swimmer, helped the three trapped soldiers escape through a hatch and swim to safety. Lemme was awarded the Soldier’s Medal on Sept. 15, 2006.
