From June 8th 2022 – www.wrta.com

Tom Butzler is a Horticulture Educator with Penn State Cooperative Extension, Clinton County (Lock Haven)

An update from Master Gardener Tom Ford on his fight with Leukemia:

"I am set for my third round of chemo on June 6th and June 7th. I am feeling good right now since I am in the recovery phase from round 2's chemotherapy treatments. As per the oncologist, each round of chemo is supposed to take a larger toll on my body. I have weathered the first two rounds pretty well, and I am hopeful that round three will go very well too. I cannot report any good news per se. I just hope that the treatments can get me into remission"
