Without knowing it at the time, you have been preparing your body and your mind to survive this disease! Draw strength from the 1000's of people who are sending their best wishes to you, me included!
You are one courageous person! Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope everything goes well with you and your family. Please check out new therapies at from SUMMIT Therapeutics and Biontech.....check into FDA new treatments. Also.....check out other possible alternatives medicines such as Gauerson method ......and such.
My husband and I are both going through cancer treatment his is prostate mine is endometrial. We are in our 80's...married almost 64 yrs. It breaks my heart when young people are going through cancer and treatments. I will pray for a complete healing for you and a long life with your beautiful wife and your lovely family.❤
We have to remember, that now we can identify these cancers. Back in the day people died of "failure to thrive", being a "weakling", and many other none descript versions of not feeling well. Sometimes being too fit can trigger cancer. Extreme athleticism can trigger cancer as in some olympic athletes.
My brilliant and healthy son was diagnosed in April of 2021 at 21 years of age. His started with back pain. He received 3 false diagnosis and once I had him transferred to a hospital in Atl. The pathologist informed me that he had only read about it in his 20 yr career. I am also a nurse and is/was devastated. He fought like a warrior for 13 months. I have placed you in my prayer circle. God Bless and Fight Like The Warrior I know YOU ARE!
Jeremiah was found to have a tumor from T7-T10 that had to be removed emergently due to spinal cord compression which incapacitated his ability to walk, so horrible watching my baby boy suffer. He never complained.
Stay strong! My husband got sick on our honeymoon with viral Cardiomyopathy. I never left his side through 19.5 years of tough times, including a heart transplant. We lost the war but won many battles, and our marriage was STRONG because of it. You and your wife are a great team! You've got this! ❤️
My husband has just been diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumours in his small bowel, which we had never heard of. He had his operation 4 weeks ago and they surgeons got it all out. Now he starts the recovery process. As you say it affects all his family, good luck - we have been married 55 years ❤
My father has had the same thing and it has taken them 2 long years and 2 surgeries to remove sections of intestine to help him be able to eat again. He has not been put on any cancer treatments, though. And he is 80. Every time he goes in for a PET scan we pray he is he has a clean bill of heath!
@@joefornasieroAll that muscle building and healthy diet making you think YOU can keep disease at bay. In my language if you break the word cancer in "ca n cer " it means "like in heaven ". We have saints who stated that cancer filled the heaven with people who had turned to God. Yes, we see others who "manage" to live long lives, maybe successful ones, but even if they do so for 100 years - which is nothing compared to ETERNITY, unless they are saved by Jesus Christ they will find themselves in that horrible place like the rich man in the New Testament
I was diagnosed with NETs several years ago in my early 30s. I had never heard of it, either! It was quite a shock. It took several surgeries but they think they got it all. I'll do yearly scans for another 3-5yrs and then biannual for life after that. Best wishes for a quick recovery for your husband!
I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer during the height of the pandemic. I had no symptoms until I had symptoms, no pains and the like.

The road to recovery has been very, very hard. Good luck to you.

Anytime! I always tried to reframe my mind to look forward to going to chemo because each cycle was one step closer to remission. Best of luck as you continue this journey!
I had cancer in my right tonsil and 4 nodes. After surgery I had 6 weeks of radiation. I have a lot of issues from the radiation, but so far, 2 years, so good. I'll keep you in my prayers, and your family too. I wish you well 🙏🤟
Hey Joe, I'm a 75-year-old who’s dealing with the results of a possible myeloma diagnosis and want to thank you for sharing your journey as a model to follow. You are strong, both mentally and physically and have the support of your entire family and lovely wife with her enduring smile by your side. As rare as your cancer is, you are the guy who is athletic and a winner who survives. Be well!
Strength to you, man. And kudos your partner for her able support. Your smiles are radiant with goodness and optimism. Wish you the best of health and happiness.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have stage IV breast cancer. You are not alone in your fight. God bless you, and fill you with strength, health and peace. ❤🙏
Thanks for sharing your story! I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. I especially appreciated your comments on family, as well as how the disease was a challenge - not a death sentence (per statistics). You’ve given me much motivation. Thank you, and best of luck to you and your family in the years ahead ❤
Wow Joe. I was diagnosed with LAMN... appendix cancer that had spread to my abdomen. I had HIPEC treatment. 10 hour long. Omentectomy, peritonectomy and gallbladder removal. Then chemo wash. 4 years later it is back. This is also a rare cancer...so I'll think of you!!!!
That cancer hospital who KNEW at the time of your presentation that you did not have lung cancer - SHAME ON THEM!!! You had travelled there, taken time off work, got on a plane, booked the Airbnb - seriously? WTF? Man, you have really been through it. I wish & your family the best ❤❤❤ I really do.
May GOD bless you, Sir. You're quite a hero, and a huge inspiration! I'm 68 and fighting breast cancer . It's not been an easy journey, but certainly not as bad as I had anticipated. My faith in and help from God have seen me through and given me hope. We simply must take one step at a time - and grasp every ounce of courage and zeal we can along the way. Love and blessings to you & your sweet family! You are sincerely a warrior. 🙏♥️🙏
I am a breast cancer patient. Some test show improvement but some throw up flags .. just when you think it's all clear. Had a PET scan Friday - and as you know ... waiting 3-4 days for results is anxiety hell. Best wishes to you and your family.. thank you for the video. Sharing is uniting and informative. I'm 73.
You are an incredible speaker! I loved just listening to you but I hated hearing all you are going through 😞 Don’t give up!! I’m so glad you’ve got a wonderful support system. AND an beautiful new wife ❤
I wish you the very best. My wife and I had the same problem with her Cancer, the wait and multiple doctors took to long I lost my best friend my wife to Epithelioid Sarcoma last . God heal this man give him the treatment that heals him
@sarahann530 I wish I knew. We prayed so hard day and night along with hundreds of Friends. I just don't know why . My wife read the Bible all the time. :(
Congratulations on your marriage! Thank you for sharing your story. You spoke about being your own advocate, which I believe to be very important in our healthcare system. Praying 🙏🏾 for you. Blessings and be well.
My niece had a cancer I believe about as rare as yours: angiosarcoma that started in her liver. It metastasized to her lungs . She had pretty intense abdominal pain as well. ER showed a small mass which they determined to be benign. So, she never got treatment and the gut pain kind of resolved. We thought it was her asthma about 10 months later and shocked to find out her lungs were filled with this rare cancer. Even the first lung biopsy missed it. She was only 23 when she passed. I’m sorry you are of the rare ones too!
That was so smart to get to MD Andersen and Sloan Kettering. For most cancers, your best chance of a cure is early detection and immediate treatment at a specialty setting. Do not let a biopsy or diagnostic tests, or treatment before or after surgery be delayed. It happened to someone I love and they lost their life. God bless and thank you for sharing your story so that others may learn from it ... I'll pray for a complete remission.
What a sweet, handsome, well spoken man.... Joe, I hope you continue to live an otherwise long and happy life with your wife, and that you are blessed with lots of love from family and friends.
I was just diagnosed a week ago today with small cell lung cancer. It's malignant and has metastasized to other places, I had no symptoms. Every sign of early symptoms I already had. Chest pains, because I have had 4 heart attacks a long with angina. Back pains from previous injury that has hurt for over 25 yrs, I had a cough not bad really, I smoke off and on for 45 yrs. Got out of breath walking 10 feet, but I had gained a lot of weight in a short period of time. Fatigue some swelling etc.. I happened to have a new primary dr who I had seen only twice. She sent me for CT scan because I had stopped smoking last Oct. If she hadn't sent me who knows how long I would have waited. I start chemo next week with radiation to follow. So thank you for making this video. It's a very numbing thing when you are told you have cancer. God bless you.
Prayers for you, strong one… this is sounding like you’re not alone with so many young people getting these “rare” forms of cancer…cling to your faith and know you are not alone.
@@michelebaker6509 I began my cancer journey 12 months ago. I had cancer in 4 places. After chemo every 3 weeks and 17 sessions of radiation treatment, I still have cancer in one place: my right lung. Cancer is persistent and lungs are resistant to treatment. Keep you chin up. This will be a long journey.
Joe, keep fighting and having hope! You are a very strong guy with a beautiful and loving family. You”ll make it! I”ll be praying for you right after I finish writing. May God bless you and all the patients of this Channel. Big hug from Spain!
Stay strong! I am in remission for a rare blood cancer. It was a pain in back that started my journey which ended in a cancer diagnosis. We had a similar path.
Wow!! You are very strong and I admire your strength. My Mom gave up after 3 rounds of chemo and said no more and of course she passed. I hope every one can be even half as strong as you and have your support system. Thank you for this video, you are intelligent and very well spoken. I pray for you and I know you can do this because you love life and your family. Stay strong and brave. God and your family loves you young man.
God bless you, 🙏 your strength and grace inspires me and gives me hope. I was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer in March ‘24, getting chemo responding well and god willing surgery soon. You will be in my thoughts 🌸🍀
Joe, Your story touched my heart! My husband and I are praying for you! My prayer is that you have been delivered from Cancer, that you will live a long healthy life . God bless you
I feel so sorry for you as this has been a devastating story and especially in someone who’s prioritised exercise and healthy eating. Your family looks lovely and it’s wonderful that you can draw strength and support from them. I hope from here you are able to become cancer free and go back to living your best life.
Thank you for your story. It helps people in so many ways. Not only do we route for you but makes us more kind to others. I wish you and your family the best. I can’t even imagine how hard this battle is for you. You are a strong person. Blessings on you
Dr. LaQuaglia is phenomenal! There was a four-part profile piece on him and his work as a pediatric oncology surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering for several decades.
I was a breast cancer patient at MSKCC. They are tops! That was 25 years ago. I still get my mammograms and breast ultrasound there annually. Will be grateful forever for their expertise and compassion.
I watched your recent video and I can't stop thinking about you. I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Thankfully you have a wonderful family and a beautiful loving wife to support you. Cancer does not discriminate, young or old, male or female, rich or poor it can strike anyone at anytime. I wish you all the best for a complete recovery. Your sharing your story this way encourages others to keep fighting regardless of what they are being challenged with. Keep up the good fight, you have many followers here who believe in you and are praying for your recovery. You have lots of living yet to do!
I get so sad when I see young people like you going through this. I am sure your fitness regime helped you. I hope that your next round of chemo goes well. It’s wonderful you have a good support system. Thank you for sharing and for your encouraging words to others.
If anyone can get through it you can and Ive never met you but only based on this video .Your a legend !! your s great guy sending such loving positive thoughts to you Joe ❤
Really sorry for the adversity you have come across. Lucky you have a supportive family, both the native ones and your spouse. Hope you will get rid of the tumor.
What an articulate, well-spoken, engaging, speaker you are! You will beat this and go on to use your gift of storytelling to inspire others!! God bless you and prayers for complete healing!! 🙏🙏💜
Your journey and your openness is inspiring to others. As a cancer survivor your message of positivity and purpose is one that I can relate to. I always saw the glass as half full. There were dark days when my endless rounds of chemo and radiation followed by 4 surgeries would get the best of me. I have a great small support group along with my 2 four legged kids that made all the difference. I wish you all the best and I hope you’re successful in your treatments. Your team seems to be top notch and your care gold standard. I have relatives in Germany who are doctors and they have been following my progress along with my medical team here in the US. I’m on my 5th year of my cancer journey and cherish everyday. Stay strong.
Hi Joe, thanks for sharing! I was just diagnosed with neuroendocrine gastrinoma pancreas (PNET). No spread in belly. Having CT chest next week. I pray that is clear. I meet with NET surgical oncology and gastro oncology soon. I was very symptomatic with N/V/D severe dehydration, went to the ER three times and have been hospitalized twice since June 24. All the workup done were negative. No food poisoning, bacteria, viruses or bacteria. Finally a young, very perceptive hospitalist ordered an endoscopy and colonoscopy and MRI of the abdomen. Bingo there on my pancreas hiding was a growth. I immediately got in touch with a gastroenerologist pancreatic specialist and his bx showed this rare cancer. (1-2 ppl per million per year with this disease.) Wow! Should we play the lottery lol! Prayers and blessings to you. Stick with a recognized cancer center. Thank God, Duke University hospital and cancer center is just up the road from me with NET specialists. I hope I the fortitude to get through this. Good luck and God bless!!
I know God exists. I'm not the best at apologetics but if you have any questions I will be glad to try and answer them. If not, have an amazing life! I wish I was as incredible as this young man is! I also wish I was still a practicing nurse who could offer help in that way. MS made me retire.
Thank you Joe for your story. It shows that aggressive self-education makes you the best medical advocate that you can be for yourself. Eight years ago I was treated for sepsis and in the hospital the doctors discovered I had kidney cancer. I wished I had educated myself better on my medical condition. After a few medical missteps, I eventually went to MD Anderson and I believe they saved my life. Go to the experts if you are able! You have a great spirit and attitude which I admire.
Thank you for sharing your story. You are a warrior, and I admire your strength. I am a two time cancer survivor. Keep pushing, keep striving, and keep being yourself.
First able God bless you both! Omg! I can’t even imagine you both are sick with this horrible desease. Right now, I’m facing my third cancer, got endometrial in 2022 and came back in April of this year, going through chemotherapy and immunotherapy and im so sick, I have ask God to take me. Without my husband I don’t know how I would manage this. It breaks my heart. Everyone fighting this battle is on my prayers. We’re definitely in the hands of God. Praying for you both.
Dear Joe. I'm praying for your complete and total healing. Also praying for a wonderful life for you and your wife. God bless both of you and all family members and friends.
You're a very brave and positive person, Joe. And you are right; keep living your life no matter what challenge may face you. I hope you and your wife have a long, happy life together.
Thank you for your candour in describing the difficult journey you have been on. You have been dealt a tough hand but I admire your fortitude in dealing with it. I wish you success in overcoming this terrible disease.
What a lovely young man. I am rooting for him!! Even in the face of adversity, he's so ready to fight this with all he has. I am wishing him many many years of happiness with his wife and family that so clearly are his world and I'm so glad he has had a great support system. I know that a strong support system and a good frame of mind can help so much. I cannot imagine how difficult this has been for him, I'm so sorry to see so many cases of young people facing a life changing diagnosis. I hope he's doing well now and keeping that wonderful positive attitude.
You got this man! Lean on your supports and surround yourself with love. They’ll give you strength when you need it most. Thank you for sharing with the world. Much love from Vancouver, BC
Thank you for sharing everything that you have here. I was healthy and fit when suddenly diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, myeloma, 6 years ago--treatable, with luck, but not curable. I have done unusually well on treatment so far, thanks to great family and medical support but also, I'm convinced, because I went into it good and have fine-tuned diet and exercise since, along with mental and emotional work. Best wishes in the coming months, you definitely have some reason to hope that you will be the best possible case.

Wow Joe. I was diagnosed with LAMN... appendix cancer that had spread to my abdomen. I had HIPEC treatment. 10 hour long. Omentectomy, peritonectomy and gallbladder removal. Then chemo wash. 4 years later it is back. This is also a rare cancer...so I'll think of you!!!!
Thinking of both of you!
thank you for the kind wishes. if you would like to share your story please visit our website!
That cancer hospital who KNEW at the time of your presentation that you did not have lung cancer - SHAME ON THEM!!! You had travelled there, taken time off work, got on a plane, booked the Airbnb - seriously? WTF?
Man, you have really been through it. I wish & your family the best ❤❤❤ I really do.
ty for sending him well wishes!
The Spiritual component is also very important. Faith and prayer have cured the impossible.
May GOD bless you, Sir. You're quite a hero, and a huge inspiration!
I'm 68 and fighting breast cancer . It's not been an easy journey, but certainly not as bad as I had anticipated. My faith in and help from God have seen me through and given me hope. We simply must take one step at a time - and grasp every ounce of courage and zeal we can along the way.
Love and blessings to you & your sweet family! You are sincerely a warrior.
🙏♥️🙏
I am a breast cancer patient. Some test show improvement but some throw up flags .. just when you think it's all clear. Had a PET scan Friday - and as you know ... waiting 3-4 days for results is anxiety hell. Best wishes to you and your family.. thank you for the video. Sharing is uniting and informative. I'm 73.
thinking of you as you continue treatment!
I beat stage 4 cancer. You’ve got this!

Checking in to see how you are. Hi from Kalamazoo
You are an incredible speaker! I loved just listening to you but I hated hearing all you are going through 😞
Don’t give up!! I’m so glad you’ve got a wonderful support system. AND an beautiful new wife ❤
♥♥♥
I wish you the very best. My wife and I had the same problem with her Cancer, the wait and multiple doctors took to long
I lost my best friend my wife to Epithelioid Sarcoma last . God heal this man give him the treatment that heals him
I'm very sorry for your loss.
@sarahann530 I wish I knew. We prayed so hard day and night along with hundreds of Friends. I just don't know why . My wife read the Bible all the time. :(
we are so sorry to hear of your wife's passing
Congratulations on your marriage! Thank you for sharing your story. You spoke about being your own advocate, which I believe to be very important in our healthcare system. Praying 🙏🏾 for you. Blessings and be well.
♥♥♥
Bless you, Joe. Praying for your strength.
My niece had a cancer I believe about as rare as yours: angiosarcoma that started in her liver. It metastasized to her lungs . She had pretty intense abdominal pain as well. ER showed a small mass which they determined to be benign. So, she never got treatment and the gut pain kind of resolved. We thought it was her asthma about 10 months later and shocked to find out her lungs were filled with this rare cancer. Even the first lung biopsy missed it. She was only 23 when she passed. I’m sorry you are of the rare ones too!
we are so sorry to hear of her passing :(
Ohh no....I am so very sorry for your loss 😔
Always mind the “terrain…” both physically and psychologically. Accepting the gifts along the way. Thank you for sharing.
You and your wife are very special. Speedy recovery for you
That was so smart to get to MD Andersen and Sloan Kettering. For most cancers, your best chance of a cure is early detection and immediate treatment at a specialty setting. Do not let a biopsy or diagnostic tests, or treatment before or after surgery be delayed. It happened to someone I love and they lost their life. God bless and thank you for sharing your story so that others may learn from it ... I'll pray for a complete remission.
thank you for the kind comment!
What a sweet, handsome, well spoken man.... Joe, I hope you continue to live an otherwise long and happy life with your wife, and that you are blessed with lots of love from family and friends.
Thank you for the kind words!

@@joefornasieroyou will beat this disease you are strong handsome man. Hugs from Greece
I was just diagnosed a week ago today with small cell lung cancer. It's malignant and has metastasized to other places, I had no symptoms. Every sign of early symptoms I already had. Chest pains, because I have had 4 heart attacks a long with angina. Back pains from previous injury that has hurt for over 25 yrs, I had a cough not bad really, I smoke off and on for 45 yrs. Got out of breath walking 10 feet, but I had gained a lot of weight in a short period of time. Fatigue some swelling etc.. I happened to have a new primary dr who I had seen only twice. She sent me for CT scan because I had stopped smoking last Oct. If she hadn't sent me who knows how long I would have waited. I start chemo next week with radiation to follow. So thank you for making this video. It's a very numbing thing when you are told you have cancer. God bless you.
Prayers for you, strong one… this is sounding like you’re not alone with so many young people getting these “rare” forms of cancer…cling to your faith and know you are not alone.
God Bless You. My little lovely brother same situation. I AM davastated. God help us. Huggs for You.
Stay strong.
@DavidEVogel thank you I am trying. Last day for round 1 chemo.
@@michelebaker6509 I began my cancer journey 12 months ago. I had cancer in 4 places. After chemo every 3 weeks and 17 sessions of radiation treatment, I still have cancer in one place: my right lung. Cancer is persistent and lungs are resistant to treatment.
Keep you chin up. This will be a long journey.
Joe, keep fighting and having hope! You are a very strong guy with a beautiful and loving family. You”ll make it!
I”ll be praying for you right after I finish writing.
May God bless you and all the patients of this Channel.
Big hug from Spain!
Stay strong! I am in remission for a rare blood cancer. It was a pain in back that started my journey which ended in a cancer diagnosis. We had a similar path.
glad to hear you are in remission!
Definitely pray to God to heal you young man. Prayer does work, so just trust and believe because he’s definitely a healer.🙏🙏🙌🙌
♥♥♥
Wow!! You are very strong and I admire your strength. My Mom gave up after 3 rounds of chemo and said no more and of course she passed. I hope every one can be even half as strong as you and have your support system. Thank you for this video, you are intelligent and very well spoken. I pray for you and I know you can do this because you love life and your family. Stay strong and brave. God and your family loves you young man.
God bless you, 🙏 your strength and grace inspires me and gives me hope. I was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer in March ‘24, getting chemo responding well and god willing surgery soon. You will be in my thoughts 🌸🍀

I've just been diagnosed with this and I'm scared. Thanks for sharing your story Joe.
Hi Andy, I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions
I feel so sorry for you as this has been a devastating story and especially in someone who’s prioritised exercise and healthy eating. Your family looks lovely and it’s wonderful that you can draw strength and support from them. I hope from here you are able to become cancer free and go back to living your best life.

Keep up the good fight! You can persevere through this. Hundreds of people on TH-cam are praying for you.
👏👏👏
And I can see the love your wife has in her eyes. Which is oriceless

Dr. LaQuaglia is phenomenal! There was a four-part profile piece on him and his work as a pediatric oncology surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering for several decades.
Dr. LaQuaglia was great to work with! I really enjoyed the whole team at MSK!
I was a breast cancer patient at MSKCC. They are tops! That was 25 years ago. I still get my mammograms and breast ultrasound there annually. Will be grateful forever for their expertise and compassion.
I watched your recent video and I can't stop thinking about you. I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Thankfully you have a wonderful family and a beautiful loving wife to support you. Cancer does not discriminate, young or old, male or female, rich or poor it can strike anyone at anytime. I wish you all the best for a complete recovery. Your sharing your story this way encourages others to keep fighting regardless of what they are being challenged with. Keep up the good fight, you have many followers here who believe in you and are praying for your recovery. You have lots of living yet to do!
Thank you for the kind words!

Bravo to you and your wife and family! Wishing you the best. Thank you and please keep us updated on your journey.
Joe, I live in Ludington, MI. My daughter was diagnosed years ago with Desmoid cancer. Scarey. Sharing your story will help many. God be with you.
Aprreciate you opening up so much. You have a strong beautiful spirit and I'm sending you and your wife strenght!

I get so sad when I see young people like you going through this. I am sure your fitness regime helped you. I hope that your next round of chemo goes well. It’s wonderful you have a good support system. Thank you for sharing and for your encouraging words to others.
You are so well spoken and strong. Lots of prayers and healing thoughts for you.

Really sorry for the adversity you have come across. Lucky you have a supportive family, both the native ones and your spouse. Hope you will get rid of the tumor.
Lifting you and your wife and family in Prayer. God Bless and Be With You ❤❤❤
What an articulate, well-spoken, engaging, speaker you are! You will beat this and go on to use your gift of storytelling to inspire others!!
God bless you and prayers for complete healing!! 🙏🙏💜
Your journey and your openness is inspiring to others. As a cancer survivor your message of positivity and purpose is one that I can relate to. I always saw the glass as half full. There were dark days when my endless rounds of chemo and radiation followed by 4 surgeries would get the best of me. I have a great small support group along with my 2 four legged kids that made all the difference. I wish you all the best and I hope you’re successful in your treatments. Your team seems to be top notch and your care gold standard. I have relatives in Germany who are doctors and they have been following my progress along with my medical team here in the US. I’m on my 5th year of my cancer journey and cherish everyday. Stay strong.
we are glad to hear you're doing well!
God Bless you! Prayers for a complete recovery.. you’re an amazing person!
♥♥♥
What a positive great guy, you're an example to others.
You are an inspiration to everyone. Thank you for your message and the best for your recovery.
Hi Joe, thanks for sharing! I was just diagnosed with neuroendocrine gastrinoma pancreas (PNET). No spread in belly. Having CT chest next week. I pray that is clear. I meet with NET surgical oncology and gastro oncology soon. I was very symptomatic with N/V/D severe dehydration, went to the ER three times and have been hospitalized twice since June 24. All the workup done were negative. No food poisoning, bacteria, viruses or bacteria. Finally a young, very perceptive hospitalist ordered an endoscopy and colonoscopy and MRI of the abdomen. Bingo there on my pancreas hiding was a growth. I immediately got in touch with a gastroenerologist pancreatic specialist and his bx showed this rare cancer. (1-2 ppl per million per year with this disease.) Wow! Should we play the lottery lol!
Prayers and blessings to you. Stick with a recognized cancer center. Thank God, Duke University hospital and cancer center is just up the road from me with NET specialists. I hope I the fortitude to get through this.
Good luck and God bless!!
Prayers of healing and recovery you have done the work to keep your body healthy God will bring you through.
I’m not sure I believe in God. But I do believe in the human spirit. And yours is off the charts.
Thank you, it means a lot!
I love that prior comment! I also believe in 'genius of the unique human spirit.I'm with you in my thoughts and the best wishes to you.
I know God exists. I'm not the best at apologetics but if you have any questions I will be glad to try and answer them. If not, have an amazing life! I wish I was as incredible as this young man is! I also wish I was still a practicing nurse who could offer help in that way. MS made me retire.
Nothing is impossible with God.
Do not fear only believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST and you will be saved you and your family.
With love and prayers.

Thank you Joe for your story. It shows that aggressive self-education makes you the best medical advocate that you can be for yourself. Eight years ago I was treated for sepsis and in the hospital the doctors discovered I had kidney cancer. I wished I had educated myself better on my medical condition. After a few medical missteps, I eventually went to MD Anderson and I believe they saved my life. Go to the experts if you are able! You have a great spirit and attitude which I admire.
Thank you for the kind words!
so glad you got the help you needed!
You’re a fighter! And a hero. Many well wishes & prayers are sent your way. God bless you & your family.❤
You are a true warrior and an inspiration - sending you strength and health

First able God bless you both! Omg! I can’t even imagine you both are sick with this horrible desease. Right now, I’m facing my third cancer, got endometrial in 2022 and came back in April of this year, going through chemotherapy and immunotherapy and im so sick, I have ask God to take me. Without my husband I don’t know how I would manage this. It breaks my heart. Everyone fighting this battle is on my prayers. We’re definitely in the hands of God. Praying for you both.
Dear Joe. I'm praying for your complete and total healing. Also praying for a wonderful life for you and your wife. God bless both of you and all family members and friends.

What a lovely young man. I am rooting for him!! Even in the face of adversity, he's so ready to fight this with all he has. I am wishing him many many years of happiness with his wife and family that so clearly are his world and I'm so glad he has had a great support system.
I know that a strong support system and a good frame of mind can help so much. I cannot imagine how difficult this has been for him, I'm so sorry to see so many cases of young people facing a life changing diagnosis.
I hope he's doing well now and keeping that wonderful positive attitude.
You got this man! Lean on your supports and surround yourself with love. They’ll give you strength when you need it most. Thank you for sharing with the world. Much love from Vancouver, BC

Thank you for sharing everything that you have here. I was healthy and fit when suddenly diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, myeloma, 6 years ago--treatable, with luck, but not curable. I have done unusually well on treatment so far, thanks to great family and medical support but also, I'm convinced, because I went into it good and have fine-tuned diet and exercise since, along with mental and emotional work. Best wishes in the coming months, you definitely have some reason to hope that you will be the best possible case.
OMG, I am so inpressed with your story. The research you did and how you tried to stay one step ahead of your cancer. Thinking of you, please keep us updated if you can. Thank you.
