“Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes. At that time, I had never seen a Broadway, was a year or two out from falling in love with New York City and the most traumatic thing I experienced back then was some school bullying.

11 months ago, my entire life changed with 3 horrifying words and I was initiated into a club I never wanted part in. In less than one year, I learned more about myself and those that I love than 3+ decades of life taught me. Through this crazy cancer chapter, I learned that nothing else in life matters but the relationships you have, the kindness of strangers, and the incredible powerful feeling of paying it forward. To find some peace from the ugly black hole of useless and scary cancer forums that is the internet as a whole.
