Dr. Ali Mahtabifard, a thoracic surgeon, played a pivotal role in Jason Freese's battle against Stage 3 lung cancer. Diagnosed on his birthday, Freese, a non-smoker and avid runner, underwent chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation under Dr. Mahtabifard's care. The doctor not only provided medical expertise but also emotional support, promising Freese he would be back on tour. True to his word, Dr. Mahtabifard attended Freese's concert at SoFi Stadium, making a memorable experience for his daughters. Freese celebrated being cancer-free and continues to have regular CAT scans, grateful for Dr. Mahtabifard's dedication and support.
