David Forney's story

About 14 years ago, I learned that I had cancer. My family had just relocated to DC. The treatment was difficult and its effects lasted more than two years. I didn’t say much to anyone at the time, because I didn’t really know what to say. Then, in 2023, the cancer came back. I received treatments at Georgetown. I worked through all of the treatments, riding my bike to and from the hospital. In 2024 and much of 2025, a cascade of other health problems resulted from the cancer treatments. Those were the most debilitating and worst years of my life. Finally, though, I think I’m on the other side of it. I’m on my way back to good health – I hope for the duration.
