42 SEENA MAGOWITZ FOUNDATION Legacy Heroes THANKFUL FOR BLESSINGS Geovanna reflected on unexpected surprise. “Roger Magowitz invited us to attend his Founda - tion’s Annual Golf Classic that was held in August 2018 in Boston, Massachusetts,” said Geovanna. “When would I ever have thought Juan and I would be in Boston? It’s been quite a journey and we hope to be at the Golf Classic next year.” “Juan had an impressive response to his treat - ment under Dr. Von Hoff and Dr. Borazanci,” Geovanna said. “When we got to Scottsdale, in addition to his pancreas tumor, he had four masses in his liver and masses in his peritoneum. When he finished the treatment, the size of the pancreas tumor had reduced from 9.1 to 4.5 centimeters, and there was no sign of masses in his liver or his peritoneum.” Juan and Geovanna have a renewed, more positive outlook on life and hope and pray the treatments will extend Juan’s quality of life for many years well beyond the “couple of months” that was the original prognosis. And who knows — with the more rapid pace of medical research, today, there could be a cure for pancreatic cancer discovered in the near future.

Dr. Von Hoff has worked tirelessly to develop breakthrough treatments in the fight against the world’s toughest cancer. Many of these treatments are now routinely used to extend, improve and save lives. Today and every day, we recognize his extraordinary work which has provided patients and their families with hope and the opportunity to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and… life itself. 8125 N.
