A Man on a Mission to Cure Ewing's Sarcoma

I feel fortunate to have been lucky enough to talk with Dr. Jeff Toretsky, about Andrew's cancer in 2009.  Dr. Toretsky is an associate professor of oncology at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center in DC.  He no longer sees patients and only works on research, which I couldn't be more thankful.  Dr. Toretsky was recently awarded a grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for $4.37 million to advance his laboratory work in the treatment of Ewing's Sarcoma.

Our journey and path in life can begin with just one chance encounter and can alter that path forever.  Dr. Toretsky's college friend who lost his battle to Ewing's altered his life's path just as Andrew's Ewing's has changed mine.  Sometimes cancer can change your life for the better .....
