At age 49, Giancarlo Pellegrino found out he had multiple myeloma.
The doctor who diagnosed him gave him just 6 to 12 months to live. But, that was before the talented and progressive Dr. Denis Claude Roy and his team took over. On October 25, 1996, Mr. Pellegrino received a bone marrow transplant. This year, he’s celebrating 20 years of being in remission and says he’ll be forever grateful to Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont for saving his life.
