AKRON, N.Y. (WKBW) â Akron Resident, Scott Woodward, has been living with cancer for 15 years.
âI can figure out anything, but I cannot figure out this cancer thing. Multiple Myeloma is a weird beast,â Woodward said. âThe doctors said âwell we are going to be able to keep you alive for awhile, but it is going to suck. Please try to find one of these new novel therapies.ââ
So, Woodward signed up for a trial two years ago that put genetically modified T cells back into his body to help fight off the cancer.
