MY STORY
On July 2, 2020, I was given news nobody wants to hear: I have Stage 4 Small Cell Extensive Lung Cancer (large tumor in my lung—upper left lobe) that has spread to my liver, many bones, and my brain. I started chemotherapy July 7th and will have six rounds, each lasting four days. While I’ve dealt with setbacks in life, I know I have the battle of my life ahead of me.
I pride myself on being an eternal optimist, having a positive mindset, and putting 100% into everything I do. This diagnosis hasn’t changed that. In fact, it’s driven me to be that much more focused on these behaviors and beating this disease.
I created this website to keep family and friends up to date with my health journey and share information about a fundraiser we’re putting together for one of my biggest passions: coaching youth sports. Keep checking back as information will be posted shortly.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for the outpouring of love, support, guidance, assistance- for everything. I’ve read (and re-read) each and every message. Please continue to leave well wishes in the Well Wishes section. Seeing these brings me tremendous joy and helps me get through each day. I am so appreciative.
