Brian Neal
Greensboro - Brian Lee Neal, 25, of 2816 Kilbourne Drive, died July 22, 2000, after being diagnosed in Richmond, Va., with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Dr. Peter R. Ennever of Moses Cone Regional Cancer Institute treated Brian from Sept. 26, 1999, until March 26, 2000. Brian's leukemia became more aggressive at that time. Brian was sent to Duke University Hospital on March 29 under the care of Adult Bone Marrow Transplant Team directed by Dr. Chao. Brian was admitted to Duke April 16 for intense radiation and chemotherapy. On April 26, Brian received the stem cells that would replace his own none marrow and build healthy cells. God granted the success of this procedure at 99 percent donor cells. The side effects of this procedure worked against his recovery.
After a long, hard battle at the ravages and the radical treatment that he received, Brian went to his heavenly home. Now there is no more pain, tubes, tests and he is at peace.
Brian is survived by his mother, Linda Kay Neal Abbott; his father, Mike Abbott Sr.; his brother, Lester and sister-in-law Karen Lester; three sisters, Vicki Neal Coleman, Libby Neal and Amanda Kay Abbott; nieces, Shannon and Randi Coleman.
