Jeff Winterberg, a beloved musician, photographer, friend & family member, was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer in late 2011. Since that time he has begun a rigorous course of treatment which started with surgery to his brain in February of 2012. Diagnosed with a medulloblastoma, this form of brain cancer typically manifests in children, only affecting less than 2% of adults. Because of the rarity in adults, little is known about the long term effects or prognosis. Jeff has been fortunate enough to be receiving significant care through Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and his doctors have high hopes for his recovery. In the meantime, his early treatment has been hard on his body. Between the surgery and first 6 weeks of radiation mixed with chemotherapy, his sight, speech, and motor functions have been affected, limiting his abilities. Beginning in early June, he will start another cycle of chemotherapy (six rounds) in hopes of destroying any remaining cancer cells.

Jeff has a long road of recovery ahead of him beyond the 6 rounds of chemotherapy such as extensive physical therapy, and life-long tests to monitor the cancer. He must have MRIs every three months for the next few years eventually tapering off to once a year. While we hope this will completely eradicate any cancer, the threat of a return always looms, thus the need for ongoing treatment.

While Jeff is lucky to have health insurance covering much of his treatment currently, the financial obligations go beyond what his insurance covers. Lost wages, travel to and from treatment, outpatient therapies, prescriptions, co-pays for appointments not to mention his outstanding financial obligations to living expenses (apartment, utilities, school loans and other bills) that he cannot cover while seeking treatment have become a burden. It is not known exactly when Jeff will be able to return to work and how that will affect his insurance coverage. The goal of this fund, set up by friends and family, is to help Jeff offset all of these costly expenses so that he can focus on recovery and getting better. As we all know, Jeff is tenaciously independent. He would prefer to tackle all of this on his own but that just isn't possible. Instead we wanted to find a way to support Jeff through his treatment and recovery. Any contribution will be most appreciated.

    Here we go, cycle 5 of chemo, round 2 startingtoday . His doctors planned on delaying cycle 5 by a week, because his counts were too low last Friday. But in typical Jeff fashion (as in he was pissed it was going to be delayed), he was determined to get it done this week. So, somehow after yesterday's blood test results, his counts were OK enough to continue with #5. Hardcore Jeff.

    As expected, each cycle is harder on his body. The fatigue is lasting longer after each chemo week now, and he just feels bleh all the time. His words. At least there are only two more (including this week) to go. Also, his brain MRI was clean last week! Yay! Must be all the love&support you guys are sending his way - thanks :)

    Please keep sending him good, healing vibes for cycle 5 so he can kick it in the ass. You guys are the best, for reals!

    Jeff completed cycle 4 of chemo, round 2. Two more to go!!!
    He said 4 was a monster and is for sure feeling worse than the previous cycles. Extreme fatigue and lots of sleeping/resting. But he is trying to maintain his weight and eats when he can. Homemade baked goods are helping him with that, so thanks to his family and friends for making sure he has plenty!

    And a huge thanks to all of you for keeping him in your thoughts! Go Jeff!

    LEE and JEN CHASE (owners of tiger! tiger!) were there last night helping out, and lent a hand over the planning process with good advice and ideas.
    MATT ANDERSON had the images printed out via his work at custom. He also lent a copy...
    of jeff's book for the night, as well as lots of vinyl.
    LIA FRIEDMAN was working the door for most of the night, and also helped to hang and price art from early in the day.
    Matt's lovely wife, VICKY, was in the house, and has been quite on point over the whole set up and delivery of these events.
    Artists included JOSH QUON, ANDY WARD, PALL JENKINS, JASON LANE, BRITT NEUBACHER, RICK FROBERG, SCOTT BARTOLONI, ROB CROW, and JFRE ROBOT COAD.

    Just a quick update on the MRI front.... Jeff's spine and brain MRI were both clean. This means that other than something microscopic that isn't detectible on the MRI, the cancer is still not showing up. This is great news! However there are still 4 more rounds of chemo to go which is mean to get rid of any microscopic stuff that isn't showing on the MRI's. Nice to have some good news! :)Ā

    Thanks for all the birthday wishes and love for Jeff! He was genuinely surprised by all the messages he received. He was a bit overwhelmed and was left a bit speechless, but managed to say "wow" and "gosh".
    And a massive thanks to those who also made a donation. I'd say "thank you" in KobaĆÆan, but I don't know how (ahem, Jon Fine).
    He did have to get blood work done yesterday, so it was a happy bloody birthday.

    Like Kelly said, you guys are all pretty amazing (and so is she).

    wow & gosh,

    Hello all,

    I just wanted to remind everyone a few things. Ā Firstly, Jeff's birthday is just a few days away (August 6th). Ā I am sure he would appreciate any well wishes sent his way. Ā This is the first year in quite some time that he hasn't been able to attend a favorite racing event in California and I think he could use some cheering up.

    Secondly, I wanted to point out that this fundraiser officially ends in 59 days (on October 1st). Ā We were doing such a great job in the beginning but things have kind of halted and I just want to get everyone on board to try to get closer to our goal. Ā Please continue to post links to the site, let friends know who may be interested, and so forth. Ā I know it is easy for all of us to get busy with our own lives but sadly, this disease is something Jeff doesn't have the luxury of forgetting about, not even for a few moments. Ā Even when the 6 rounds of chemo are done, he will have a lenghty recovery and every little bit of extra support will help.

    Of course every ounce of support, financailly & emotionally, that you all have provided has been amazing and totally appreciated. Ā Jeff is such a great guy and we want to support him as much as possible.

    Thank you again for all your generosity
    Kelly

    Yesterday was the last day of chemo week 2, round 2, andĀ  was without any major incidents. Well, except for that one emergency trip back to the hospital in the middle of the night. As usual, Jeff the trooper was calm as ever. Otherwise, typical long days at the hospital while he scarfed down kozy shack pudding.

    He is back home now. Still battling major fatigue and feeling crappy, but no issues (so far) with nausea. It's likely he'll feel worse with each chemo week from the cumulative effect, not to mention the post-op side effects he is still dealing with on a daily basis.

    So please continue to send him massive amounts of love & support. He's a bit more bummed than usual this weekend, because he was unable to make his annual pilgrimage to Cali for the MotoGP race.

    Thanks from all of us!

    This week, Jeff is starting week 2 of chemo, round 2. Bleh. He'll probably have long days at the hospital ahead of him, but just wants to get it over with. After this week, 2 down, 4 to go.

    Thanks always for all the good, healing vibes sent Jeff's way. I'll update again later this week, so please check back and think good thoughts for him all week!

    Jeff completed week 1 of chemo, round 2. Just to clear things up, he already completed the first half of his overall treatment, which included 31days straight of radiation + chemo. Now he's doing 6 cycles of chemo.

    He ended up having to stay at the hospital for a few days to monitor his fever and counts. His counts are still low, but other than sounding absolutely exhausted, seems to be in OK spirits. Joked about using Just For Men to hide the grey in his beard, which he isn't allowed to shave right now (low platelets).

    1 down, 5 to go. His doctors say he will feel worse before he feels better... and then feel bad again when he starts the next cycle. Repeat.

    Please keep sending good thoughts! Thanks from all of us!

    Jeff is already having a rough few days with the first cycle. His counts were on the low side even before he was pumped with chemo, so he's not feeling too great in general (cue middle finger). He had a fever today, which his doctor says happens 30% of the time. But since his counts are low, he was given IV antibiotics & will be monitored at the hospital overnight and possibly into the weekend for any bacterial infections.

    I just talked to him, and he's in a fairly good mood and sounds like he's OK now. Might be because he is getting some serious TLC from his mom, who is doing an amazing job with him this week. Like today, when she noticed he felt hot and let the nurses know right away.

    Thanks for the continuing support & love. I tell him about every message he receives, so keep 'em coming cuz it keeps him goin'.

    Jeff had quite a few different doctor appointments in the past two weeks. One of the doctors mentioned that one ear appears to have baseline deficit (hearing loss) likely due to his exposure to loud music. Surprising, I know.

    Also, his doctor was concerned with his thyroid function because of his continuing fatigue during the break between treatments. Test results showed everything is normal. So that's one less thing to stress about.

    He is set to start round two of the harder stuff chemo tomorrow. He's certainly not looking forward to it, but like Kelly said, he is a trooper. He'll trudge through it, surely with his middle finger flying around.

    So please keep sending good thoughts, vibes, energy...good everything. It really means a lot to him (and all of us). Thanks everyone.

    Thanks to everyone for sharing this site with others so far. But an even bigger thank you for showing so much love every day. It really does help him/us to get through each day, as tough as it has been. He is genuinely touched by the outpouring of support. He even laughed at some of the comments left on the site. I mean, it was a weak laugh because of the fatigue/exhaustion he's still experiencing, but I heard it!
    Jeff was supposed to start his second round of chemo this week. But as some of you already know, the first round (radiation to head/total spine + chemo for 31 days straight) was pretty brutal on him. Also, he's still dealing with the post-op physical deficits (speech, hearing, vision, & motor skills are all affected). Unfortunately, the "break" between the first round and the next chemo hasn't been much of a break for him. Some unpleasant incidents during those weeks. -Sorry for the vagueness, just not sure how comfortable he'd be with what I share, or what I'm actually allowed to share?
    We were back at the hospital yesterday for pre-chemo check-up. His doctors said they were concerned about a few things, and are reluctant to start the second round as of now. Because this type of cancer is super rare in adults, there are still some unknowns. And on top of that, his doctors consider him an unusual case within that already rare 2% group.
    We'll know more this week. In the meantime, please continue sending good thoughts and vibes! It keeps his mood up to know so many of you are rooting for him! And just so you know he hasn't lost his fighting spirit, in typical Jeff fashion, he gives himself the middle finger out of frustration when his body isn't working the way he wants it to. Oh, Jeff.

    A massive thank you to everybody for making a contribution so far! I have read the comments left by all of you on the site to Jeff, and he was overwhelmed and quite emotional.Ā  It really means a lot to all of us to know there is so much support out there. He just feels bad that he's not getting better faster. Oh, Jeff- I told him not to worry about that part.
    I'll be posting updates on here and on the facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/PictureJeffCancerFree), so please check back often! He does start his second round of chemo next Monday, so please keep sending good vibes.

    Also, a big thank you to Amelia, Phil, Matt, and the Bishop for helping out with the fundraiser. And bow down to Kelly for making it all come together!

    Hi Jeff, It's been awhie. I was not doing too well for the past few months. I had dwelling stomach acid battling my stomach. Then, I started wearing this white rubber wrist band and it has been helping me tremendously. Yes, it's another new age crap I am into and it costs too much for its ugly exetrior. It does claim to have graviton energy kneaded into its plainly ugly rubber material. But, if you could wear a wrist band I would like to get one for you...(when I get paid next month. Assuming you aren't afraid to be more new age than ever.) It reads like a cheap advertisement. I think it would help with your hospital visits. oh, btw, I am in the process of leaglly changing my first name. Take care! M. Hojo

    Jeff- It's times like these that I turn to the words of the great Raghunath Ray Cappo: Me You Youth Crew But then I remember that those lyrics have nothing to do with the matter at hand. Butt seriously (sort of): if you think I'm gonna break it's gonna take more than what you've got don't count me out cause I've got some more and I'm back with more strength and vigor than before and this flame will keep on burning strong and I will continue to sing this song I know, I know- That song is about talkin' shit, but in all seriousness- GET BETTER SOON DUDE!! -Tory

    Hi Jeff, I just graduated from COMD at Pratt. We unfortunately never met—my job in the digital photo department meant I printed there rather than Imaging—but I was able to appreciate your hard work on the 4th floor of Steuben all the same. Thanks for all you do, and I hope you have a full and swift recovery. Mike C.
