Thank you for continuing to update on Jake’s story.

It’s okay, I meant what I said. You sound like you have some sort of medical background and I appreciate any attention to his story.

His wife is also a medical doctor. He’s had the best care possible. It sadly was not enough.

Thank you for the kind note. I’m sure he’d love to hear from you.

Sorry for your loss. I hope you’ve found some peace.

Hey thanks for this post. You sound very knowledgeable.

Couple things: Jake’s SCC is non-HPV. He did Keytruda, and it had no effect. He’s being treated at the Mayo clinic where most of the oncologists were ambivalent about chemotherapy. He’s beginning platinum based chemo on Monday as a hail mary to try to kill this stuff.

And yeah — all the doctors have been flummoxed by the aggression of this cancer. It was the same when he had sarcoma twenty years ago.

This is my brother. I love you.

Anyone who has suffered through this disease or has a loved one that experienced it knows the feeling of helplessness.

Be kind and good to your loved ones. Life is short and no one knows how much time we have left. While the FDA’s antiquated bureaucracy does no good, the true enemy is the disease itself. I believe in science and I hope that someday no one else will needlessly suffer as my brother has.

You be good. I love you.
