Jud Kimmel

Jud Kimmel was diagnosed with Stage IV, Grade 3 Neuroendocrine Tumor (NET) in September 2022, and received radioligand therapy (RLT) as his first line treatment via a clinical trial.  And although the RLT stunted and shrank his metastatic tumors, Jud struggled mentally and emotionally with his "incurable but treatable" cancer reality.

Learning about Man Up To Cancer in early 2023 from another cancer survivor was a turning point, helping Jud connect with other guys who understood how he felt.  And he has become an active member since then, helping to lead our North Star Chapter, attending each year's Gathering of Wolves, and becoming our first Director of Educational Initiatives.
