Good morning. How are you feeling today?

I am feeling pretty well thank you. Came back from a 3 mile hike with my dog. It was hard, but we finished. My dog knows, if I am struggling. He will just sit. After a few minutes, we will start walking again. That simple task shows how it takes a team to help you help your sister. I am very lucky that my wife has been amazing. My dog has been amazing. My kids are my kids. I will stop that story there. I live in Arizona but am from the east coast. We went back for a wedding after last chemo cycle... see a trend? Sometimes, you have to plan around chemo cycles... a lot of family and friends asked, you were diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer about a year ago and yet you are still here? I would just say I am very fortunate. And I really am. My one niece officiated the wedding. It was her sister's wedding. When the wedding ceremony finished, she came over and asked me for a hug. She asked if she could lean on me. I said of course. When the night was over, I was exhausted. She came over, gave me a hug, and told me that it was time to lean on her. She had been leaning on me her entire life. It is time for me to lean on her. I tried to give you a snap shot of how my journey has gone. It is hard, but due to covid, it was hard to get diagnosed. Years longer than it could have. I am more than ok with that. Your sister is way ahead of where I was and still am. She has you to help. Let's get her the best team with the best care, so her transition to a NETs patient is as seemless as possible.
