To your 34 years old, Frank Nunez is losing the most important battle of his life against a rare cancer called synovial sarcoma, which has been lodged in the soft tissue of his body since 2018.

Although the brave firefighter of the Itasca Fire Protection District, Illinois, was treated with chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, physicians treating him at Northwestern Memorial Hospital concluded that he was nothing can be done for him, so they decided to send him home, where he will receive palliative care until his last minute of life.

During Frank Nunez’s stay in the hospital, his colleagues did not let a single day go by without going to visit him and one by one the firefighters came to make him feel their affection through text messages and eraser boards do dry.

Similarly, Christina, who is his fiancée of three years, She did not leave the room where her lover stayed until very recently.

Because the Itasca firefighter remains intubated, his mother also went to the Medical Intensive Care Unit to say goodbye to him.

However, the afflicted woman could only do it remotely, since she is convalescing from a stem cell transplant that they were performed to combat his fight against leukemia that puts his life at risk.

Later, in a gesture of solidarity and kindness, firefighter Frank Nunez was transferred to his home in the ambulance that eventually supported him to take other wounded that arose in the fires that he had been fighting in the city since 2018.

In this way, already installed on your Crystal Lake address, Nuñez only has to put his thoughts in order waiting to move on to a better life.

For the time being, his colleagues have agreed to continue visiting him, as they say he was always a man of solidarity with the unprotected.
