Time 2 Cheer! Negative 4 Cancer

Bill and I after OSU beats UM 30-27 in Double OT 11/26/16

This is my brother Bill with me after the UM vs OSU football game this past weekend. The rivalry between these two teams has been characterized as the “greatest rivalry in sport.” We would agree, and on Saturday Bill and I celebrated the Buckeyes thrilling victory over #TTUN in “THE GAME” as well as my 49th birthday.

As you all know, I have been involved in A Rivalry Game! of my own these past two years. A Rivalry  played out with my own team from Ohio State University (nurses, doctors and researchers) at The James Cancer Center. Today, 11/28/16 I had my follow up appointment from my most recent episode. Specifically, I had my CT Scans to evaluate any reoccurrence of “my rival,” cancer.  After 4 surgeries, 2 separate rounds of chemotherapy, 1 round of radiation and many many challenging moments for family and friends, today I am cancer free. There is no sign of a recurrence in my scans. My scans are “negative” for cancer (#-4Cancer)!

I am so incredibly grateful for all the wonderful support that has blessed us and that we will need to harness going forward as we march towards a survivor diagnosis.

We are cheering today!
