Before cancer, Jack Lowe planned to join the Marine Corps, following family tradition. He attended a Marine Corps ball as an Honorary Marine.
Jack Lowe wanted nothing more than to be a United States Marine. Service in the Marine Corps is in Jack’s blood. His great-grandfather was a Marine pilot and both his parents are Marines
He planned to enlist in the Marines right out of high school until, in March of his junior year in 2022, he was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer.
He soon began 36 proton radiation treatments as well as six months of inpatient chemotherapy. At the end of the six months, he was cancer free.
In August of 2023, as he was preparing to undergo surgery on his left femur, it was found that the cancer had returned. Six weeks of experimental chemotherapy was started, but at the end the cancer hadn’t retreated and had instead spread to the rest of his body. His diagnosis is now terminal, and doctors do not give him a lot of time.
