“My spouse received a breast cancer diagnosis. The Forrest Gump actor, whose son Mac passed away in January at the age of 33, remembers.
“My son was diagnosed with this very rare cancer … within two months of each other.” The battle against cancer in his family is being discussed by Gary Sinise.
When his wife and son were both diagnosed with cancer in 2021, the actor said he put his acting career on hold and relocated his family from Los Angeles to Nashville, Tennessee, in an interview with Fox News Digital.
“During that time,” Sinise, 69, said of the cross-county trip, “we were in the cancer fight.” The Forrest Gump actor told Fox News that he chose.
To take a hiatus from his business in 2019 in order to support his family after his wife Moira and son McCanna “Mac” were both diagnosed with various types of cancer in 2018.
“My spouse received a breast cancer diagnosis. “Within two months of each other, my son was diagnosed with this extremely rare cancer,” he remembered.
“I had to … look after my mom since she was alone herself after my dad had a stroke. I had a lot on my plate.His son Mac passed away in January, but Sinise’s wife is now cancer-free. His age was 33.
“A rare type of bone cancer that happens most often in the bones of the spine or the skull,” according to the Mayo Clinic, is what Mac had: chordoma.
According to Sinise, his son’s fight against the uncommon disease was “particularly difficult.” “Our son was fighting this cancer with no cure,” he said.
It seemed like a full-time job to look for medications, physicians, or anybody else who might help him.
Also, as time passed, the disease made him more and more crippled. He required increasing amounts of attention.
Despite Mac’s challenging cancer journey, Sinise said that his musician son was “happy at the end of his life.”
“I’ll say this about Mac and his CD from the previous year. He had accomplished his goal, which was to record all of this music in May and compile it into an album.
It made me really happy to see him sort of savor those moments,” he said. By releasing his son’s unreleased songs, Sinise is helping to preserve Mac’s memory in the aftermath of his death.
Earlier this week on November 10, which would have been Mac’s 34th birthday, Resurrection & Revival: Part 2 began shipping.
In late October, Sinise sent a picture on Instagram announcing the album’s release. “I’m really honored to announce, friends, the presale debut of Resurrection and Revival: Part 2, an album based on the music of my son Mac.
I started looking through Mac’s files after he died away on January 5 and found a lot of lovely compositions that he had never published,” he stated.
“With the help of his dear friend Oliver Schnee and some of Mac’s talented musician pals, we’ve been able to bring these pieces to life.”
“This has been a real labor of very deep love,” Sinise stated in an interview with Fox News Digital about the record.
I didn’t even know he had a lot of this music until I came across it in … his folders.” In addition, Sinise is a musician who plays with the Lt. Dan Band. Before his death, he performed with Mac.
“He is just a superb drummer. Playing with him was always so much fun, and he’s really, very solid. “He just had a natural talent,” he said to Fox News Digital, referring to the “beautiful” music his son composed for documentaries, films, and his charity, the Gary Sinise Foundation.
“I just started listening to this stuff that he’d written for the movie, and I was very, very moved by it,” said Sinise.
“I started discovering all this other music that he’d written and tucked away that I never knew about … that he never told me about.”
