BOB COSTELLO

Bob was first diagnosed with CCS in 2002. He noticed a painful lump in his foot and didn’t think much of it but was shocked to learn that it was CCS. Bob underwent a long surgery at University Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio where the doctors fully removed the tumor and reconstructed his foot. Although the recovery was difficult, this procedure allowed Bob to live nearly 20 years cancer free.Then in 2022, Bob noticed he was tired, not hungry and losing weight. Unfortunately the CCS had returned but this time it was much more aggressive and had spread to his lungs. Bob underwent chemo for palliative care but lost his battle with CCS just 5 short months after being diagnosed.Bob was a warrior and a great husband, dad, and friend to many and we miss him dearly. We will be hosting an annual golf scramble in his honor and all proceeds will go to CCSF to help others battling this rare cancer.
