Brian’s Journey Crushing cancer A Day At A Time

13/09/2025

Great to catch up and spend time today with my buddy Roger who is a dedicated diabetes advocate, and I have been a cancer advocate for the last few years, but with the new role, I am a full time advocate for all illnesses.

This morning among the many conversations we had, we talked about starting a regular video podcast in the near future with other advocates as guests. Looking forward to helping the world one patient at a time. 💚❤️

4 years ago today, i decided that if I stop drinking, it would help heal me from cancer physically, but along the way, I realized that I don’t miss it at all, and I keep going A Day At A Time 💚❤️

Oh yes, the worst night of my life was in May of 2021 when my last blood test result came in and my labcorp app dinged, and I read that I was diagnosed with Mantle Cell lymphoma. That pretty much began my love hate relationship with technology.

I went right to Dr. Google to find out what Mantle Cell lymphoma was all about, it made me even more depressed. Like I always say, I will never be glad to have gotten diagnosed with cancer, but there has been some amazing silver linings. I’ve been able to advocate for others whose lives have been affected by one form of cancer or another, and just this past Sunday, I had an amazing lunch here in New Jersey at the shore with 7 other MCL warriors and 2 caregivers that I never would have met if it hadn’t been for cancer and technology.

I am grateful to call these amazing folks the beautiful family that I wish I hadn’t met due to cancer, but grateful for the support. I met them on an online support group. I Whether, we’ve known each other for days or decades, I thank you all for sharing my journey with me. Brian, and many others win today, cancer loses as I keep surviving and thriving 💚❤️💪

I try not to give any medical advice, except to say listen to the health professionals, and stay off Google, (I already did that for you 🤣)

(New time 7:00 pm EST), For those whose lives have been affected by one form of cancer or another, and also in any type of recovery program from an addiction, or want to stop the madness and start to recover, there is a zoom recovery meeting every Tuesday night at 7:00 pm EST, where you can feel free to talk about cancer, and or addiction recovery, or both. Sometimes in “traditional” recovery meetings, we may feel awkward sharing about cancer and how it affects us, that’s why I love this meeting. Hope you can make it. Much love family 😍
