Motivating Talk

  1. I have a lot of respect for Jeffrey, for not letting cancer define him as a person. The sheer determination he has to live life on his own terms is incredible.
  2. I’ve never seen someone more in touch with their faith and I feel blessed to have seen this, thank you Jeffrey.
  3. Such a good man, you just want to give him a big hug.
  4. Jeffry is another cancer warrior who has too much to live for to surrender to cancer. God Bless you.
  5. I think this talk really shows the importance of having a strong support network. The impact of caregivers and cheerleaders cannot be underestimated!
  6. Cancer is not a death sentence. Jeffrey is one of the lucky ones and with his zest for living, he’s an inspiration to all.
  7. Cancer can be an isolating experience, but Jeffrey’s story shows the power of prayer and the importance of community in healing.
  8. Jeffrey’s optimism in the face of adversity is inspiring. It’s a reminder that a positive outlook can make a significant difference in healing.
  9. Jeffrey’s journey is a powerful reminder that statistics don’t always dictate our fate… His determination to beat the odds is really impressive.
  10. I just met this gentleman, and he truly moved me. I have been through a rare cancer myself. His outlook is so positive. He changed my outlook within minutes. Thank you, Jeffery.
  11. Jeffrey’s story is a testament to the human spirit’s resilience. His courage in sharing his journey will undoubtedly touch many lives.
  12. I was moved by Jeffrey’s experience with his caregivers and cheerleaders. Having a strong support system can make all the difference during tough times.
  13. I can’t imagine just how emotional that roller coaster must have been Jeffrey… your story reminds us to listen to our bodies and advocate for our health ❤
  14. Love you man. Well done. So happy for you.
  15. Goodness Jeffrey being told three times you were going to die and still strutting your stuff is an achievement, Well done.
  16. I lost my dad about three weeks ago to this exact type of cancer. He was 63 yo and very in love with life. This particular type of cancer, primary plasma cell leukemia, is highly aggressive and also very rare. The fact that it’s rare is what broke my heart at the very beginning: rare means few trials, few research funds for this, and therefore less knowledge about the appropriate treatment plan. I am still traumatized by the way this disease killed my dad in just one month. I am happy that there is someone out there, working to spread knowledge about PCL. I hope in the future things will change for PCL patients and their families.
  17. Jeffrey’s story is incredibly inspiring, definitely sharing this one. 💜
  18. I worked with Jeffrey for a short while in Saudi Arabia, and seeing this clip made my day. We all wondered what happened to him. God is so good. Jeffrey, glad to see that you are sharing your story. Be blessed always.
  19. Thank you, Jeffrey, for sharing your insights and lessons. Your story will undoubtedly raise awareness about cancer and provide hope to others.
  20. “Chemo brain” is real, and it’s essential for everyone to understand the cognitive challenges cancer patients face during treatment. Thank you for shedding light on this, Jeffrey.
  21. Well done Captain Sapp, on all counts.
  22. Wow! What an inspiration to keep on keeping on!❤❤
  23. I met Jeff back in 2018-2019 in KSA while we were working for the same company. He suddenly had to leave for medical reasons but not too many details were given (rightfully so, as he is entitled to his privacy).
  24. Jeff, I was very moved by your story and the struggles you went through. I’m so glad to see you are doing better. Keep up the positivity and will to fight. God is indeed great and answers the prayers of the one in need.
  25. Jeff, it must be true that the USNA as well as the other service academies trains us to be “warriors ” in all ways. You join my list of cancer warriors that provide a special inspiration laced with hope and appreciation. Congratulations on your good fight! Add me to your list of cheerleaders. 💪
  26. Sadly, oncologists do not tell you the mayhem chemo will cause in your body. Their push is for you to go ahead and start the process.
  27. Wow $62,000 for a helicopter ride that he slept through. Hopefully, he had insurance to cover the costs.Goodness Jeffrey being told three times you were going to die and still strutting your stuff is an achievement, Well done.

  31. Thank you, Jeffrey, for sharing your insights and lessons. Your story will undoubtedly raise awareness about cancer and provide hope to others.
  32. Chemo brain is something we should all be more aware of… I think Jeffrey sharing his journey like this should serve as a wake-up call for people who’ve never experienced it to better understand and support cancer patients.
  33. Jeff is my classmate from USNA. Anyone who views this video will understand why his nickname among us was “Scrapper.” He remains an inspiration to us all.
  34. “Chemo brain” is real, and it’s essential for everyone to understand the cognitive challenges cancer patients face during treatment. Thank you for shedding light on this, Jeffrey.
  35. Well done Captain Sapp, on all counts.
  36. No surprise here. I’ve witnessed Jeffrey ‘closing with and destroying the enemy through firepower and maneuver’ since the spring of 1975 when he, as a laughably undersized D-lineman (sub 200lbs) who languished on the bench of a 4-7 Navy team, rocketed to All-American status in one season. Jeffrey’s encouraging words re a healthy body may violate TED’s medical guidelines but, they address health and spirit, not medicine and spreadsheets. Thanks, Jeffrey!
  37. Wow! What an inspiration to keep on keeping on!❤❤
