We're all terminal, whether you have cancer diagnosis or not. Let's leverage that and go live some really intentional lives, shall we?

And if you do have cancer, let's remember doctors can be good at medicine and bad at math. I was given three years to live and this month... I hit TEN!!!

Btw, it's MRI DAY⚡️🧲⚡️

For me that means a long string of appointments:
MRI, bloodwork and treatment, a battery of cognitive testing then my neuro-oncology appt.

It's been 6 months since my last MRI. The longest gap I've ever had. A lot can happen in 6 months, but guess what?

An MRI is just a picture 📸

I still get to go live every moment to the fullest and spend each day in gratitude.

Circumstances are out of our control, our attitude is not.

So please pray with me that there is no tumor growth 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I'll keep you posted

New this September, Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health is introducing a monthly Sound Bath Wellness Class led by yours truly! I am so excited to be giving back to the same community that helped me fight cancer!

Join the 1st session on Friday, September 25th at 11:30am.

Experience a gentle, restorative sound bath designed to support nervous-system regulation, emotional balance, and deep rest. A sound bath for patients with cancer is a gentle, non-invasive complementary therapy designed to support the body, mind, and spirit during oncological care.

This session uses guided breath-work, guided mind-body scan and the calming harmonious sound vibrations of instruments like crystal singing bowls, a gong, various chimes, steele tongue drum, earth element sounds and more.

Open to patients, survivors, caregivers, and anyone seeking stillness and healing.

What are the odds of surviving a shark attack and a lightning strike in the same day, and then beating cancer THREE TIMES?

Just ask Tyler Callaway (@tylercallaway), @ucsdsurfteam coach and co-founder of the annual @ucsdhealth Legends of Science and Surf event that has raised more than 15 million for Moores Cancer Center @ucsdcancer. Tyler rides a wave of gratitude by paying it forward through support groups for cancer patients and survivors and raising money for life-saving treatments.

Don’t miss his odds-defying story in his forthcoming memoir, aptly titled “What Are the Odds?” And look for his TedTalk, “What surfing taught me about cancer.”

PHASE ONE is excited to announce a Medical Grant for Drs. Sicklick and Kato at @ucsdhealth to support a revolutionary Phase II clinical trial for patients with advanced aggressive cancers.

Advanced aggressive cancers remain among the most difficult challenges in oncology, and factors at the molecular level can influence how they respond to treatment.

Precision oncology has emerged as a promising strategy in this setting by helping physicians look beyond the tumor’s location in the body and instead focus on the biologic features that may be driving its growth.

Building on Dr. Sicklick's previous research showing that administering individualized precision-oncology regimens was safe and feasible, patients in this PHASE ONE-funded study will be randomized to receive either customized, molecularly matched therapies or standard-of-care treatment, allowing investigators to directly compare the two strategies in a rigorous clinical trial setting.

I recently completed a three-stage energy cleansing of an indoor space with remarkable results.

Ion levels were measured using an ion meter at five locations throughout the room—the four corners and the center. Prior to the energy cleansing, the readings ranged from 1,500 to 2,200. Following the completion of the three-stage process, the readings consistently decreased to a range of 103 to 175 across all measured locations.

The magnitude and consistency of these changes were extraordinary and demonstrate a measurable shift in the environment following the energy cleansing. These findings represent an important milestone in my ongoing work and encourage further exploration of the relationship between energy healing and environmental measurements.

Based on my experience and understanding of energy healing, I believe these findings reflect a profound transformation in the energetic quality of the space.

In this video, Dana Kippel discusses the documentary Phenomena Healing and claims energy healing cured pancreatic cancer cells in a lab via the interstitium, a fluid-filled anatomical network identified by NYU pathologist Neil Theise in 2018 that some link to bioplasma and consciousness.

$250K ➝ $8.6M

That’s the ripple effect of investing early in bold cancer research.

Curebound’s 2024 Discovery Grant helped launch groundbreaking pediatric leukemia prevention research led by Dr. Hojun Li at UC San Diego and Rady Children’s Health.

Now, that early investment has helped secure nearly $8.6 million in additional funding to advance safer, less toxic bone marrow transplant strategies for children at high risk of leukemia.

This is how progress accelerates:
Early support → breakthrough data → major funding → lifesaving innovation.

Together, we’re helping stop cancer before it starts.

Dr. Diane M. Simeone is a member of AACI’s Board of Directors. We asked Dr. Simeone, director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center what drives her to continue working in cancer research, care, and advocacy.
“What motivates me most is the opportunity to work in an environment where scientific discovery, clinical care, and collaboration come together with purpose to improve outcomes for patients with cancer. Progress against cancer depends on collaboration across institutions, disciplines, and communities, and it is inspiring to work alongside colleagues who share a commitment to improving patient and family outcomes and quality of life.”
