It was hard enough the first time Conor was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, a rare soft tissue cancer, at age 17.

Then three years after finishing treatment, early in his senior year of college, came the devastating news: His synovial sarcoma was back, and it had spread to his lungs, making it stage 4.

“I just kind of shut down when I found out,” he says. “I was in so much shock.” His parents acted quickly and decided he needed to go to MSK. He met with sarcoma medical oncologist Dr. Sandra D’Angelo, who offered him a treatment being investigated in a clinical trial: afami-cel, a T cell receptor therapy that trains the immune system to recognize and attack cancer.

“Dr. D’Angelo was very confident that this was a good option for me, and it really put my parents and I at ease,” Conor remembers. Even better, Dr. D’Angelo arranged Conor's treatment around his schedule, so he wouldn’t miss any classes.

Conor received his treatment over winter break, beginning with chemotherapy to prepare his body for the engineered T cells. After the infusion, he recovered quickly and within a week, he was home. A month later, Conor's scans showed that his tumors stopped growing.

“My family and I were amazed and very grateful,” he says. “I was able to resume normal life very quickly.” Not only did he finish his last semester of college, Conor also rejoined his school’s Division 1 golf team.

Now 23 and 18 months out from treatment, Conor says he feels great and is living a full life — playing golf, working full time as a project analyst, and hanging out with his friends.

Contrary to popular belief, one way for patients feeling depleted to recover from cancer treatment is not necessarily to stay in bed, but to exercise.

Researchers at MSK are conducting rigorous and innovative research investigating the effects of exercise to offset treatment side effects and to control cancer.

“It’s now clear that exercise has major benefits for people being treated for cancer as well as for cancer survivors,” says MSK exercise physiologist Kylie Rowed. “In addition to improving physical and mental health, it can help minimize the long-term effects of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.”

Recently, the Exercise Oncology Program at MSK has taken the research a step further, conducting studies that shed light on whether exercise can affect cancer survival and recurrence and help new cancer drug therapies work better.

“I was getting stronger and unknowingly training for the hardest fight of my life.”

In April 2020, Janel joined her daughter for virtual workouts during the COVID-19 lockdown. During one of the workouts, she felt a lump in her breast. A few days later, Janel was diagnosed with breast cancer at 44.

“I was scared, shocked, and overwhelmed. But I told my family I was going to try my best and beat this.”

After speaking with doctors elsewhere left her confused and unsure, a trusted friend encouraged her to call MSK. “Two weeks after my diagnosis, I was sitting in a chair receiving chemotherapy,” remembers Janel. “From the moment I met my care team, I knew I was in the right hands.”

Janel received all of her care at MSK Commack, close to her home in Long Island. Her treatment plan included chemotherapy, 17 rounds of immunotherapy, surgery, and 25 rounds of radiation. “My cancer responded so well to treatment,” says Janel. “I was shocked, and my care team was ecstatic.”

One day in the radiology department, Janel saw a familiar face. Jamie, a nurse who works at MSK Commack, turned out to be an old friend from Janel's high school. “Jamie recognized me right away, even with my buzz cut,” shares Janel. “During the pandemic, when I couldn’t bring anyone with me, she made it a point to sit with me during treatments. That bond meant everything.”

Today, Janel is NED (no evidence of disease) and maintains her treatment with hormone therapy. In her free time, she loves going to concerts and hanging out with her family, who she says played a big role during her treatment. “My family was incredible. They shaved my head with me, decorated the house in pink, and even organized a car parade after my last radiation treatment.”

When asked what advice she would give someone who is newly diagnosed with cancer: “Celebrate every win, surround yourself with love, and never miss a beautiful moment.”

"In July 2020, I discovered a lump in my abdomen and was diagnosed with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST),” says Jessica, an MSK patient. “I feared I had only months left to live and that I would not get to grow old with my husband or see our daughters grow up. Five years later, I am living cancer-free because I came to MSK."

“I asked, ‘What if this doesn’t work?’ My doctor’s response gave me hope: 'Even if it doesn’t work, or stops working, enough research is going on that by the time we need to look for another treatment, there will be another drug ready to take care of you.'”

Our MSK experts don’t just treat today’s cancers, they are hard at work advancing tomorrow’s breakthroughs.

"The treatment I received at MSK saved my life. And I had the privilege of meeting the person who developed it: Dr. Charles Sawyers,” shares Jessica “We met at Cycle for Survival, MSK’s fundraiser for rare cancers. When we hugged, we had tears in our eyes, and I felt so deeply moved. I would not be here without him.”

“Meeting Dr. Sawyers reminded me that it takes all of us — researchers like him, survivors like me, and continued support from the MSK Giving community — to bring more possibilities to families facing cancer.” ––Jess P.

Today is MSK Giving Day and all donations will be TRIPLED. Donate today and help bring more possibilities to families facing cancer: https://bit.ly/44U4Oxy

Jill was drawn to MSK’s stellar reputation for advancing cancer research and providing unparalleled care for every patient who came through the doors. “While I don’t work directly with patients, I know that the events we plan support the teams that do,” says Jill. “I hope that through those events, all MSK staff know how valued and important they are here."

In her spare time, Jill takes her planning skills full throttle with her family. “I’m a big-time sports mom and try to go on one big trip each year,” says Jill. “For us, the adventure continues when I travel with my kids.”

For people with prostate cancer that is confined to one area of the prostate, doctors are increasingly using a treatment known as focal therapy. One approach uses an advanced and highly precise energy source known as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

“We believe this treatment strategy will improve the lives of many prostate cancer patients,” says MSK urologic cancer surgeon Dr. Behfar Ehdaie “Instead of removing all the tissue in the prostate, we have learned that it is safe and effective to treat specific areas, which is much easier for patients.”
