But during his junior year of high school, feelings of fatigue and weakness began to interfere with his race performance and at times left him falling asleep in class.<\/p>\n<p>Eller was eventually diagnosed with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, a rare cancer, and received treatment at MultiCare Mary Bridge Children\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The experience later inspired him to pursue a career in diagnostic ultrasound \u2014 and led him right back to the place and health system that helped him heal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I found out I was coming back to Tacoma for my clinical internship, I was over the moon,\u201d Eller says. \u201cIt was amazing to think that my experience was coming full circle.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The road to a diagnosis<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In high school, Eller had a plan. His brother had received a full-ride scholarship to run track in college, and Eller intended to follow in his footsteps. To get there, he trained six days a week and competed in a variety of events, from the 800-meter dash to 5K cross-country races.<\/p>\n<p>When Eller\u2019s health and strength began to decline, he grew concerned. One night his symptoms became so severe he went to a local emergency department, but after a chest X-ray cleared him of pneumonia, he was released.<\/p>\n<p>At the urging of his family, Eller made an appointment with a specialist at Mary Bridge Children\u2019s, where an echocardiogram \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/services\/medical-imaging\/ultrasound\/\">a diagnostic imaging test<\/a> that uses sound waves to evaluate the functioning of the heart \u2014 found a tumor in his chest.<\/p>\n<p>According to the American Cancer Society, T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma often originates in a gland called the thymus. This gland makes T cells \u2014 a type of white blood cell that fights infection. Because the thymus is situated in the chest near the heart, this fast-growing lymphoma can cause difficulty breathing, fatigue and weakness \u2014 many of the symptoms Eller had been experiencing.<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks after his diagnosis, Eller began receiving chemotherapy under the care of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marybridge.org\/providers\/rebecca-johnson\/\">Rebecca Johnson, MD, a medical oncologist and hematologist<\/a> at Mary Bridge Children\u2019s.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_34307\" style=\"width: 267px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34307\" class=\"wp-image-34307 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/06\/nathan-eller-violin-257x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Young man in tuxs playing violin\" width=\"257\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/06\/nathan-eller-violin-257x300.jpeg 257w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/06\/nathan-eller-violin-878x1024.jpeg 878w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/06\/nathan-eller-violin-768x896.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/06\/nathan-eller-violin-1317x1536.jpeg 1317w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/06\/nathan-eller-violin-180x210.jpeg 180w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/06\/nathan-eller-violin.jpeg 1599w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-34307\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An accomplished violin player, Nathan Eller has participated in multiple orchestras and now owns a side business where he plays violin at weddings.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cLooking back, I know what a blessing it was to start treatment that quickly,\u201d Eller says. \u201cBut it was also a difficult time. We had to cancel vacation plans. I missed a lot of school, and worst of all I couldn\u2019t run for almost a year.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reaching a crossroads in his care<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>By February 2020, Eller was approaching the maintenance phase of his treatment plan \u2014 a less intense phase of treatment designed to prevent cancer from recurring. A senior in high school at that point, Eller planned to return to track that spring. But Dr. Johnson shared news that would require Eller and his family to make an important decision.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/study\/NCT00408005\">A new chemotherapy drug called nelarabine had recently shown promising results<\/a> at effectively treating T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/research\/participate\/clinical-trials\/how-trials-work#phases-of-clinical-trials\">phase 3 clinical trial<\/a>. Mary Bridge Children\u2019s was one of several clinical trial sites across the country testing the drug, and one of five in the state of Washington.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost patients who get treated for T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma do achieve remission,\u201d Dr. Johnson says. \u201cBut if the cancer recurs, it can be hard to control. Adding nelarabine to Nathan\u2019s treatment regimen \u2014 a drug that\u2019s now part of the standard of care for this cancer \u2014 would increase his chances of staying in remission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Eller wanted to do everything he could to keep the cancer from recurring, but adding nelarabine to his treatment plan would affect his ability to compete in track events at the level he was used to, due to the drug\u2019s side effects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a hard decision,\u201d Eller said. \u201cMy family and I talked it over, and we decided I should take the drug. I remember my mom told me, \u2018It\u2019s better to be alive than fast,\u2019 so I thought OK, why not be a part of trying something new?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At 17, Nathan Eller was a competitive athlete who dreamed of running Division I track in college.
