Patient Story
Over 5 years ago, Jeff Julian at age 39 was told he had stage IV lung cancer and less than a year to live. But Jeff was no stranger to defying the odds.
While at USC he was a member of the U.S. National Team, a silver medalist at the World University Games, a PAC-10 champion, a NCAA Silver Medalist, eight-time All American and an Olympic Trials finalist.
And now after guidance from his doctors and the Addario Lung Cancer Foundation, he signed on to a clinical trial for immunotherapy treatment that had incredible results. He is now nearly cancer free and is participating in the Genomics of Young Lung Cancer study from the Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute. He is currently the Head Swim Coach at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center.
