Expert Cancer Research Consultants

Edward is a 13 year rare Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivor and author of the book 'Cancer, Musical Theatre, & Other Chronic Illnesses'. In his 13 year survivorship journey, Edward has been featured in INSIDER, ABC, Fox5, Pix11, DailyMail, Everyday Health, and has spoken on nearly 100 podcasts on survivorship. He has spoken to crows with Blood Cancer United, and Tufts University with more on the horizon. Edward's hot take? Surviving cancer is harder than having cancer in the first place and there aren't enough resources or conversations about this commonly felt, but not commonly discussed facet of cancer. Hence, why in 2026 in partnership and benefitting Blood Cancer United, Edward is launching The Remission Film Festival. This first-of-its-kind festival features creators who have been impacted by cancer and who can speak to the experience of having, or living through it. Please reach out with any cancer or film related inquiries.
