Hello Friends! I thought I would take this lovely Monday to turn up Sam Smith's "I Feel Love" and send out a quick update! I had surgery about 10 days ago and everything went great! I am home recovering now and enjoying all this extra time healing and getting stronger with my family by my side. I had my follow up with my amazing surgeon Dr. Carrie Carsello. She is THE BEST. She has made my entire treatment process amazing. Everyone at the Hospital of Central CT made sure I was well taken care of and I had an amazing view of Walnut Hill Park!  The love I have received from far and wide has meant so much to me. From the cards, texts, amazing gift baskets and yummy food. I am so loved. It makes having cancer seem like a walk in the park, LOL.  But the best thing to happen to me since my last blog update is...I GOT MARRIED!! I am so lucky to have Christina beside my in this fight because she is the best nurse, plant-mom, Rocket momma and everything in between. I am pretty sur...

Hi everyone! The outpouring of love and support since reopening my blog and leaving the "open for biz" sign outside has been incredible! I am so blessed to have a support system far and wide that will help be beat cancer! Christina has been the best fiance (soon to be wife!), dog mom, cancer care giver and plant mama that I could ever ask for. We used quarantine as a time to redo things around the house, adopt way too many plants and master the game of Connect 4. There is no one else I would rather be bored in the house with than her.  Ok now to the important stuff... I will be having surgery next week to remove the mass, my thyroid and some nodules just below my thyroid. The surgery will keep me in the hospital overnight but I will be home ASAP to lay on the couch and recover! My official "Bad Ass ESPN Thyroid Cancer Survivor" pal Ashley sent me the link to the best recovery pillow so I cannot wait for that!  Keep me in your thoughts, prayers, pray ...
