Today, 8/23 is his daughter, Oriana's birthday! OK was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a tumor in his right frontal lobe on January 27, 2018, two days before his son's, Oliver's, birthday. His wife, Maria, had encouraged him to go to the emergency room after noticing some irregular behavior, such as dropping things. Maria has a friend who works at Dana-Farber, and she arranged everything for him, including an appointment with Dr. Reardon. His treatment includes weekly blood draws and an infusion of a study to test a drug. OK likes sports and bicycling. He works as a central office technician with Verizon.
