If it’s tuesday, it must be a doctor day. Juana and I went to Dr. Andriulli, her heart doctor of 12 years. She has been experiencing alot of pressure in her chest and radiating pain. Juana has died and come back so many times in the past due to her heart stopping that we joke about it. She has a defibulator and a pacemaker in her.

On monday I took my girlfriend Juana for her 3 month CAT scans to see what the bone cancer is doing, afterwards we headed to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast.

We truly honor and respect each others wishes, and value the openness that we have together.

As I am writing this new blog, the first thought that comes to mind is, what is the purpose for this blog? When diagnosed with cancer our whole life changes in that instant. A new hand has been dealt and how we play that new hand is the key.
This blog is a place to normalize all of the emotions, feelings, thoughts and actions, share our stories, help inspire and support people to thrive and discover the joy and happiness in life once again.
