Hello, this is Joe’s kids. Our dad passed away peacefully in his sleep last week after battling cancer for several years. We were all lucky enough to see him during the holidays, and he reminded us to treasure the beautiful moments in life. We hope you will take a moment today to do just that ❤️

Hello my friends, #cancer #RealTalk

Nobody wants a Cancer Journey. Nevertheless... 5 years ago that brochure dropped into my lap. ​

Several years ago I was given “2-4 months to live' when my Stage 4 cancer roared back. Emergency FDA approval and luck got me this far.

This time it’s beyond any ability or doubt. The few of us that have now made it this far are encountering the next hurdle for scientists to solve:

Our type of cancer ends up in the brain, untreatable and aggressive.

I currently have 20+ incurable brain tumors, the worst ones are pushing directly into my lower brain life functions. 2-4 months is likely, maybe less, doubtless for much more.

First I want to say thank you. You’ve been wonderful.

I"ll be posting bird pics and cheering your efforts as I'm able, but likely offline most of the the time

Light and hugs and happiness your direction, always. 🔆​🌾​🌈​🌄​​

Please do something nice for yourself and also for your loved ones.

15-metric ton meteorite crashed in Africa; 2 new minerals found in it

'The findings were presented in November at the University of Alberta’s Space Exploration Symposium. The revelations “broaden our perspective on the natural materials that can be found and can be formed in the solar system,” Rubin said."
