Scott (R) and Cade (L) embrace after he lands at the football game. Jerree Humphrey is a registered nurse and case manager at the the Hospice of Lake Cumberland in Somerset, Kentucky.
There, she met Scott Sullivan, 50, a patient diagnosed with a rare and terminal type of cancer called leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.According to Humphrey, Sullivan was told he only had months to live before he moved into hospice.“He was only given a very short time,” Humphrey, who had been Sullivan’s nurse for about a month, said.“We became close quick because both of our kids are in sports and are about the same age,” Humphrey said. “So, whenever I go and do his visits, we’d always talk about the kids,” Humphrey said.
