An Update: The Road Ahead

When I first shared my story, I was at the beginning of something I could never have imagined. A diagnosis that changed everything. Since then, life has taken turns I could never have scripted, some brutal, some beautiful, all of them shaping who I am today.

After 10 rounds of chemotherapy, I was able to reach something that felt almost impossible: no evidence of disease (NED) in both my colon and liver. That milestone opened a door that very few people ever get to walk through, the chance to have a liver transplant.

It wasn’t a miracle. It was a whirlwind of timing, science, and courage, and it’s changed my life forever. The transplant, along with my bowel resection, has given me a second chance. A chance to live, to be present, and to keep building the life I want for my family.

Right now, I’m on the right path. My body is healing, my scans are clear, and everything is where it needs to be for me to live a long, healthy life. But I also know, more than most, that things can change quickly. So we don’t take any of this for granted.

This past year , 2025 , has been incredible. We’ve had amazing holidays, shared moments that mean everything, and spent real quality time with the people we love. Every day feels like a gift I don’t want to waste.

Looking ahead, I’m filled with gratitude and quiet optimism. 2026 feels like a year to live fully, to keep laughing, creating, connecting, and doing more of the things that make life feel meaningful.
