About This Podcast

Cancer SUCKS, but this show doesn't! And your life doesn't have to either. Welcome to the Cancer Sucks Podcast. I'm your host Jay Williams, and I’m currently fighting pancreatic cancer and talking about ALL of it — the good, the bad, the confusing, and the occasionally ridiculous. Whether you’re a survivor, caregiver, or just curious about that big scary “C” word, this isn’t a downer—it's an empowering pep talk with a dash of humor. Get inspired, get informed, and remember—cancer sucks, but you don’t have to.
