June 20, 2013 - Here’s an update about Joey’s Chemotherapy from Kathleen.
“I just wanted to update and let you know that Joey’s PET scan results came in today and the chemo is working!! The tumor in his chest has already shrunk significantly after two full treatment cycles, and the lymph node growths are gone. He’s in the midst of chemo treatment #3 right now, but we are all happy and relieved at this good news and I just thought I’d share a smile.”
June 6, 2013 – Here’s a story submitted by Kathleen in Staunton, VA about her best friend Joey battling cancer. Take a read, get some perspective and learn the inspirational story about Joey and his approach to his battle with cancer. Thank you Kathleen for sharing this story and Joey for being greater than yourself.
Here’s Kathleen’s Post: “My best friend was diagnosed with cancer four weeks ago. It’s a very aggressive form of Lymphoma, but they caught it early and started chemo right away and so far he has been responding surprisingly well.
Joey has always wanted to be a writer, but lacked the inspiration and confidence to really go after his dream. Since his diagnosis, he has found both. He is now living with his parents, having chemotherapy treatments and writing almost every day. His words are moving, inspirational and thought-provoking, and I highly encourage you to read and share them. Not many young people could face a cancer diagnosis with not only bravery but optimism and even humor, but Joey says he is happier now than he has ever been, despite the cancer. He has found his life’s purpose, and whether he lives for five years or fifty, he thinks he will live a life worth living.
