"JEFF HEALEY CONTINUES HIS BATTLE AGAINST CANCER GENE

Guitarist, band-leader and musician Jeff Healey, despite his ongoing battle against the cancer gene that stems from retino blastoma - the disease that took his sight in early childhood - is continuing to work on a variety of projects.

Currently in the middle of a course of chemotherapy, he is working on two different recording projects - one a jazz recording for Stony Plain Records, the other a blues CD for Ruf Records in Germany. He is also continuing his radio show, My Kinda Jazz, heard every Monday evening from 9 - 11 EST, and Sunday mornings from 7 - 9 EST on JazzFM in Toronto.

"I have had to repeat one earlier show, and I'm taping some shows this week, but I'm doing the show live whenever I can, because I much prefer to do it that way," he said.
A handful of concert dates have been postponed, and Healey was sad to miss a Scandinavian tour, which would have lasted too long to allow his ongoing treatments.

"I have great confidence in the doctors who are working with me," Healey says. "I'm doing everything I can to keep busy while my doctors and I fight the good fight. Keeping my various projects on the go is as important to my health as are the treatments."

Boy can I relate to that comment by Jeff. Put up the good fight is our battle cry. I don't recommend this stuff for anybody. Stay healthy and follow your doctors suggestions when they want you tested routinely, no matter where they have to stick it.
