Jeff Guyer's Fight with Cancer . Living with The Big C .

...I am thankful for modern medicine, without which I surely wouldn't be here today. I am thankful for everyone's generosity who has donated to my cause helping to fund these amazing new clinical drug trials like the one I'm on now. I am thankful for Yondelis my little sea squirt friend from the west indies that is actively killing my tumors. I'm thankful for my team of doctors and nurses who take care of me and endlessly work at finding better treatments for this disease.

And mostly I'm thankful for my Autumn. She is my pillar of life and hope. She keeps me going on a daily basis, bringing me up when I'm down and making me laugh and smile for no reason at all. I am so thankful to have her by my side!

...

The oncologist we saw today was extremely pleased with the results telling us that he had never seen such a positive response after only two rounds of Yondelis. We'll take it!
