Gary Sinise has shared the heartbreaking news that his son Mac Sinise has died at the age of 33.

The Forrest Gump actor, 68, revealed that his son died on January 5 after a years-long battle with rare spinal cancer chordoma in a post shared on the Gary Sinise Foundation website on Tuesday.

Mac had worked with the foundation and supported his father’s Lt. Dan Band on drums until repeated spinal surgeries and the progression of his cancer in recent years forced him to step away.

Gary Sinise has shared the heartbreaking news that his son Mac Sinise died on January 5 at the age of 33.

Mac Sinise had been battling chordoma, a rare spinal cancer, in recent years, but continued to work for his father’s foundation until a few months before his death.

WHAT IS CORDOMA?

Chordoma is a rare type of cancer in the bones of the skull and spine.

It is part of a family of cancers called sarcomas, which include cancers of bone, cartilage, muscle, and other connective tissues.

Chordomas generally grow slowly, but are relentless and tend to recur after treatment.

Due to their proximity to critical structures such as the spinal cord, brain stem, nerves and arteries, they are difficult to treat and require highly specialized care.

1 in 125,000 people live with chordoma and it occurs mainly in older people. There are no approved medications to treat it.
