Larry Hedtke

Hard-working Karnes City rancher, Larry Hedtke, 65, had undergone chemotherapy, surgery and even a stem cell transplant. Nut none could stop his deadly multiple myeloma from recurring. Then his doctor suggested he enroll in a clinical trial at the UT Health Cancer Center of a drug called carfilzomib, and in January 2014, Hedtke joined the study through the Cancer Center’s Institute for Drug Development.

Today, Hedtke reports he is feeling great and closer to normal.

Harold and Sara McDonald

When Harold McDonald was diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer, rather than “just get his affairs in order” as was suggested, he decided to fight the disease. With treatment at the Cancer Center, he was able to spend more quality time with his family and participated in many activities including walking his daughter down the aisle at her wedding.
