Summary
Springsteen told a Pan-Mass Challenge rally that Patti Scialfa is in remission after living with multiple myeloma for more than eight years.
At the Worcester, Massachusetts fundraiser, he credited Dana-Farber doctors and nurses — especially Dr. Paul Richardson — and said medical research gives families hope when cancer hits.
Scialfa, diagnosed in 2018, had previously said the rare blood cancer weakened her immune system and limited how often she could appear onstage with the E Street Band.
The announcement came in support of the Pan-Mass Challenge, which has raised $1.125 billion for Dana-Farber since 1980 and held its latest ride on Aug. 1-2.
