Burt now has two primary cancers: a renal clear cell carcinoma and an advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (spread to the liver). Despite his diagnosis, he is still his old self, but better. He volunteers a ton, is an advocate for patients and integrative oncology and takes pretty good care of himself. He is all about his next adventures and refuses to let cancer get in his way! And most importantly, his sense of humor is better than ever. Burt’s blog can be found at Adventures With Cancer.
