We're back for a quick update on Nick's latest round of chemo, and explore important topics like reconnecting with old friends, high school reunions, and bowling ball wax.
Finding Chemo favorite Leyli Woodfield returns to update us on her adventures since last year, and talks about life post-treatment with her usual contagious enthusiasm. Also, Billy Shakespeare tries his hand at open mic standup...it doesn't go well.
Happy New Year! The show is back. Unfortunately, so are Nick's chemo sessions which he starts today. We wanted to chronicle his journey for this latest go-around, so here we are. It's not all bad news though; he's busier than ever with his comedy and his humor remains a pillar of his strength. Special guest: Santa!
Winner of the 2016 San Francisco International Comedy Competition, Jay has seen (and been through) it all. He joins us to talk about surviving a pituitary tumor and medical conditions too numerous to mention. Not to worry, he tells us everything with his trademark darkly uplifting humor.
Cancer has met its match in our new friend Leyli Woodfield, who joins us to share her story. Whether building a community online or in her own neighborhood, Leyli illustrates why cancer is the underdog. The smart money is on her.

Shane Pearce is the Director of Urologic Oncology at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, WA. He talks with us about advances in robotic surgery, immunotherapy, and why the Sears Tower isn't a reliable unit of measurement!
