We have a new high school graduate in our house! Equally important, I’ve still got my photography hobby skills and took all of the pics. I included two behind-the-scenes shots as well. Another milestone I’m very happy to see!!
Pleasantly surprised by @BayadaHHC today. They dropped off dinner to our house tonight (unannounced and paid for). Such a nice gesture and helpful to us as a family affected by #cancer. #AWalkWithPurpose

22/ No spouse, no parent should ever have to make this decision - especially in the wealthiest country on the planet. You didn't fail us - we failed you. I miss him with all my heart and wish he was still here. I love you dad.
I remember taking that photo at ASCO last year. Seems like yesterday! Wish I could attend this year’s meeting and see everyone again - especially inspirational individuals like you! We can, and should, stop cancer before it starts. Safe travels my friend! Keep up the great work!
Just a quick shout out to a great friend and colleague @Becker_MichaelD who is devoted to getting the word out about vaccines for #HPV. We can stop cancer before it starts. #ASCO19#Prevention
Lorie captured a great shot of my first trip outside in days due to weather and health issues this afternoon. Got a portable oxygen tank, which helped. Humphrey was just happy to be out of the house today but didn’t enjoy his first trip alongside my wheelchair.

Pretty bad week after being put on an oxygen tank due to breathing difficulties that started recently. However, dramatically lifting my spirits was the receipt of cards with heartfelt "thinking of you" notes from a speaking event that I did for @GCIHealth. Thank you everyone!
