Former US Open Champion Corey Pavin Announces Wife Lisa’s Return to Cancer Treatment
WHY IT MATTERS
The update underscores the challenges of cancer treatment, the promise of advanced therapies like CAR‑T, and the importance of community support for patients and families.
What happened
Professional golfer Corey Pavin revealed that his wife, 52‑year‑old Lisa, who finished her last round of chemotherapy in February, has not achieved a complete remission. Pavin posted that she will now receive a cell‑based gene therapy, specifically a CAR‑T infusion, at the Mayo Clinic.
He expressed optimism about the new treatment, thanked doctors, nurses, and friends for their support, and praised Lisa’s courage amid the emotional and physical toll of her illness.
Despite the ongoing battle, Pavin continued to play golf, finishing 21 strokes behind the winner at the Sanford International in Sioux Falls last month.
