My wife Ronni, and my father went with me to see Dr. Ho, my ENT, to learn more about my cancer diagnosis. It was comforting to have them with me. It was surreal to think I had cancer. Totally shocking, as I felt totally healthy, with no symptoms but a bump on my neck.
May 2015 - This was the month I received my stage 4 cancer diagnosis from my ENT. Totally shocking and life changing.
My wife Ronni, taking me to my first appt. with my oncologist, Dr. Lee Zehngebot - An awesome doctor with tremendous bedside manner.
I had a radical tonsillectomy and neck dissection in May 2014 - 42 lymph nodes removed.
2015 - Scar looking much better. I used scar cream and sun screen.
I was laying in bed in September 2014, after finishing all chemo & radiation the week of August 11th, and received this picture from a good friend out of Washington DC. Gonzalo had written my name on cycling jersey which gave me the encouragement to keep fighting!
September 2015 - Gonzalo & I, along with the entire AgencyOne team crossed the finish line after cycling 140 miles over two days. This was one year after I finished my last chemo & radiation treatment. Just one year earlier I was lying in bed eighteen hours a day too weak to walk around. This was truly a fantastic feeling.
November 2014 - Our twin's b'nai mitzvah in Israel. I was so happy to beat cancer and celebrate this event with my wife, kids, family and friends.
June 30, 2017 our twins turned 16. Awesome day to celebrate our terrific kids. It was just a few years earlier that I was concerned I wouldn't be here to see this day. We had an awesome party for them.
