\n

It\u2019s been 20 years since Robert Parnes, MD, received an autologous stem cell transplant \u2013 20 years since the first day of the rest of his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s been 25 years since he met \u201can amazing and humble human being,\u201d the man who told him everything was going to be OK at the moment he needed to hear that most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe saved my life,\u201d Dr. Parnes said of UNMC\u2019s James Armitage, MD, who holds the Joe Shapiro Chair for the Study of Oncology and Clinical Research and the University of Nebraska Distinguished Cancer Research Professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the years, Dr. Armitage has done that for many people, as one of the world\u2019s foremost experts in lymphoma and blood cancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut I think it was more than that,\u201d Dr. Parnes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy interactions with Dr. Armitage over the past 25 years have made me a more thoughtful person and a better doctor to my own patients. I am very grateful for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the years went by, one mission remained: \u201cI had the desire to give back in some way to Dr. Armitage and the entire transplant and oncology team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All he needed was to figure out how. All he needed was a little push.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you are reading this, he hopes you\u2019ll join him in his \u201chow.\u201d He hopes this is the push you need, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several months ago, Dr. Parnes was at home in Maryland, when the realization struck him. Now was the time. He found contact information for the University of Nebraska Foundation, and after some conversations with Tom Thompson, senior director of development, a vision took shape:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA chair,\u201d Dr. Parnes said, \u201cin Dr. Armitage\u2019s honor, that would last generations.\u201d Those who would hold this chair, \u201cwould be honored to be chosen as someone who was a leader in research and treatment of blood related cancers.\u201d But also, \u201chighlighting their role in caring for patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The establishment of the endowed James O. Armitage, MD, Chair in Hematological Malignancies at UNMC would support the work and legacy of his doctor and friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what is that legacy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, everyone knows Dr. Armitage is a UNMC legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before she died in May, Debra Romberger, MD, who was the Henry J. Lehnhoff Professor of Internal Medicine, UNMC Department of Internal Medicine, and special adviser to the dean of the College of Medicine, spoke in Dr. Armitage’s support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDr. Armitage has impacted UNMC in so many pivotal ways,\u201d Dr. Romberger said. \u201cHe was essential to bringing bone marrow transplantation to our institution, which changed the lives of many patients as well as the future direction of the organization. Quite simply, Dr. Armitage is an icon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What sticks with those who know him, especially former patients he has saved, is his humanity. \u201cHis empathy,\u201d Dr. Parnes said, \u201cand his understanding of what I needed emotionally \u2013 it came across instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI felt a sincere connection to someone who was really going to care for me, someone who was going to try to help me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDr. Armitage is a great example of how much positive change one talented and dedicated person can make,\u201d said Mark Rupp, MD, professor and interim chair of internal medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Parnes was a young doctor himself, a retina specialist, when he first met Dr. Armitage. He\u2019d just completed his fellowship and was working his first real job at an ophthalmology practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was diagnosed with lymphoma and, perhaps like many others at the time of diagnosis, was told he had maybe eight or 10 years to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight to 10 years, when his kids were ages 2 and 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That realization \u2026 \u201cIt really hit me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His oncologist told him, if you have lymphoma, you must go to Nebraska, to see Dr. Jim Armitage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nebraska?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telling an East Coast person that the world\u2019s foremost expert is in Nebraska?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI live a half hour from Johns Hopkins,\u201d Dr. Parnes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the person you have to go see,\u201d a trusted colleague said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within a week he and his wife and dad were on a plane to Omaha. When they met Dr. Armitage, it hit them immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI meet a lot of physicians who are very intelligent and very talented,\u201d Dr. Parnes said. \u201cBut his understanding of the need to offer me hope and the lifeline he extended by doing this made him exceptional and unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a game-changer for me,\u201d Dr. Parnes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While others talked about how many years of life he had left, Dr. Armitage said they were shooting for a cure. He oversaw Dr. Parnes\u2019 treatment. A clinical trial was involved. It went well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About five years later, there was a recurrence. But they went back to Dr. Armitage. \u201cHe assured me he was going to take care of me, and a cure was still his goal,\u201d Dr. Parnes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, Dr. Parnes underwent a stem cell transplant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been blessed to be in remission since then,\u201d Dr. Parnes said. \u201cThis Thanksgiving, it\u2019ll be 20 years since the transplant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s gotten to travel and experience great things, have a long career and spend a lifetime with his wife, through dark days and bright ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve gotten to see my kids grow up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, he wants to do this for his doctor, an old and true friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEstablishing a chair in his name, it\u2019s a lifelong thing that goes through generations,\u201d Dr. Parnes said. He envisions, \u201cthe recipient would be honored to have the chair named for such a great researcher and person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s true, according to the NU Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed James O. Armitage, MD, Chair in Hematological Malignancies will be awarded to a physician scientist specializing in blood cancers research and treatment. Funds from the chair will be utilized to advance the recipient\u2019s work in education, diagnosis and treatment of blood cancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCreation of this endowed chair will allow another faculty member to follow in his footsteps and make a similar beneficial impact,\u201d Dr. Rupp said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Parnes is excited to have started this effort. He is proud to write that first check, although he can\u2019t fund it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut I can plant the seed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s done more than that,\u201d the NU Foundation\u2019s Thompson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDr. Parnes has generously given the first significant gift towards something that, as some might say, is long overdue in honoring Dr. Armitage. Others who feel equally as grateful of the unique level of care they received from Dr. Armitage are joining Bob with the exact same sentiment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that note, Dr. Rupp is asking those who have been healed, inspired, taught or befriended by Dr. Armitage to join in this effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI encourage prior patients, students and colleagues of Dr. Armitage to express their thanks for his many contributions by donating to the endowed chair fund and enabling the good work to continue,\u201d he said. \u201cEndowed chairs are the foundation upon which the faculty is built, and contributions to the Armitage Chair are an investment in the future \u2013 excellent clinical care, inspiring education and breakthrough research \u2013 all of those things to which Dr. Armitage has dedicated his career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
