Undergoing cancer treatment during pandemic
A retired Florida police officer and his wife have been traveling six hours to get cancer treatment in Georgia.
ATLANTA - It s been almost 5 years since Ed Russ, a retired police sergeant with the City of Homestead Police Department, was diagnosed with stage 4 rectal cancer.
Ed and his wife Sandy have spent the last 12 months sticking close to their new home in Central Florida, trying to steer clear of the coronavirus. I don t know if my immune system could handle it or not, Russ says. I turned 64 this year, so, I m not sure, but I d rather not test the waters.
