LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 2, 2021) Jack Hillard of Lexington has dedicated his life to supporting cancer patients. When he became one, he didn’t let that stop him.
Hillard’s journey with cancer started in 1993, when he was diagnosed with large granular lymphocytic (LGL) leukemia. Thankfully, he received an early diagnosis and has been able to keep the leukemia at bay with medication for over 25 years.
Twice, surgery has been Hillard’s saving grace. In 2004, a routine colonoscopy revealed cancer growing in his colon. His surgical team at UK Markey Cancer Center decided to operate and swiftly removed the cancer.
Hillard’s two-time cancer journey inspired him to do more. Although he was a survivor, he learned firsthand how cancer can rip apart families and end people’s lives, especially in his own backyard. Kentucky is the number one state in the country for overall cancer mortality.
