The Journey Begins

Welcome to the new twist in the road and all that it will bring.

Please know that each thought and prayer has been received and not taken for granted. As we move forward through this, we'll have more time to spend with our family and friends. We need you all to ride with us on this journey.

Next week I'll get fitted for my "Jason" Nightmare on Elm Street radiation mask and have another baseline MRI. We anticipate to begin both chemo and radiation the following week.

When treatment begins in full force, we'll start asking everyone to help with my trips to Emory Monday through Friday. There will be a calendar that everyone can use to see the appointments and sign up to help. This is also a great way for me to spend time with the people I care about most. So, stay tuned.

Papa Joe
