"Thryvor will be an amazing resource for cancer patients, their families, and doctors. There is nothing out there like Thryvor, to recommend to cancer patients, for inspiration."

"Thryvor is a powerful concept - allowing us to experience authentic survival, in graphic detail, through the eyes of a real cancer patient. This holds tremendous value for patients and families as well as doctors and medical students - survival is knowledge."

My name is John Sencio. I’ve survived cancer twice, 1995 & 2012. I'm lucky. Both times I was diagnosed, I searched for a movie that followed an actual patient, in real time, who beat cancer. What I envisioned: person gets cancer, person beats cancer, see the gritty journey - gain valuable insight, be inspired.
Amazingly, I could not find the movie I needed, so I'm making it. A movie by a patient, for patients.
Cancer brings confusion and fear; my family and I needed knowledge and encouragement - from a real survivor. During my treatment. I thought: “wow, there are so many things about cancer no one tells you – I wish I had known all of this before hand.” I needed that powerful navigation tool.

With Dr. Steve Lee - my radiation oncologist and Dr. Mamta Singhvi at UCLA.
According to the World Health Organization, over 18 million new patients are diagnosed every year with cancer. That’s over 49 thousand people, every 24 hours. It's almost impossible to calculate the millions of people currently fighting cancer. The potential audience for Thryvor is massive . With this project, anytime a new patient (or family member) asks their doctor, nurse, pharmacist, or social worker to recommend a movie where a person beats cancer - they can say: THRYVOR.
With my lead surgeon Dr. Eliot Abemayor, UCLA.
We are assembling an amazing team for Thryvor - talented partners, sponsors, and other Thryvors. Thryvor will be a free valuable resource for patients and families. This project will have a lasting impact and you can help bring THRYVOR to life. It's easy to get involved - CONTACT US.
