Welcome to another WEEKLY UPDATE! Today we’re traveling back in time to October 2025, where Jay was navigating chemo delays, bad blood cell counts, and discussing the possibility of taking a new pancreatic cancer drug. Jay tells Adrienne the toll that schedule changes have on his mental health, how work is going, and the curiosity of trying to gain weight when he’s only ever tried to lose it. This update may be months old, but every bit of it is still relevant to his current cancer journey, and we’re sure the journey of those around us. Thanks so much for listening!
