My Melanoma Cancer Story

When you never break your own cycle of abuse and trauma from your childhood, you pass it on to your kids. Never be your kids friend if you’re not gonna be their parents first.

This morning my brother informed me that Mom has passed away and was united with my Dad. They are Together again....She will be missed by me and her two grandsons and will be remembered as a loving Mom who sat with me for weeks in Arizona when I had cancer treatments. She went through the hardest of times I had. She will be missed. Like I have said a million times, validate your loved ones in life so you don't have to honor them in death later.

Hi everyone…..This is a message to all my cancer warriors out there. I just signed a deal with the Arizona Grand Resort & Spa to give ALL cancer patients and advocates, special rates to use the resort in your recovery or just to get away with the family. I have used the Arizona grand resort in my own recovery from cancer treatment and it was great. So instead of just relaxing at home when it’s 117 out, or if your in town for treatment, you can use the resort as a staycation and recovery from cancer treatment or how cancer makes you feel. This is open to all cancer facilities……

I will be calling on other resorts to get similar deals for everybody and I’ll update you as we. I will include the email address (see below) that you need to email to book your stay. Thanks everyone, email me with questions.

Here is the email;
Hi Bill. Thank you for your patience while we got this sorted out. I am really excited to share that we are able to offer the $99 rate during the week (Sunday-Thursday) and $149 over weekends (Friday and Saturday) with a waived resort fee, based upon availability. I sincerely apologize for the delay and all the hoops we had to jump through to get this done. We are really excited to host Ironwood guests and I am really happy that we are participating. In order to book, you will need to email the below address to check on availability and reserve.

Our Reservations Managers are all aware of the new courtesy rate program for Ironwood cancer patients and their advocates and are ready to assist you. Of course, you can always reach out to me if you run into any problems.

1st day of high school for Roman and 1st day of high school for both boys here in Arizona. Boys didn't want to take a photo outside the car together too many classmates around. 😂 Roman said Dad dont embarrass us. 😂
