Just three years ago I was officially diagnosed with Cancer. Happy Cancerversary!!! But hey, guess what? I'm still alive and well... Fu*k you Cancer! If my next MRI at the end of March shows stable disease, I will have had no progression in 1 year (Currently 10.25 months stable).

If 2020 made you uncomfortable, be thankful that you were able to recognize that. (-Anthony Vizzari 12/31/2020)
