Sending STRENGTH to you @DickieV. YOU GOT THIS!!๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ
I obviously did not get the report today that I was hoping for when my oncologist called . It has been 10 days of many exams Pet Scan - Cat scan - 2 MRIโ€™s- Biopsy - multiple bloodwork - now at least I know what I face. The Melanoma Lung & liver cavity cancer will mean I will start IMMUNE THERAPY next week - plan on winning the battle !๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

We have it hanging as well. Such a powerful piece about Zach and his strength.๐Ÿ’ช Thank you Jason for writing about Zachโ€™s journeyโ€”and to @washingtonpost for giving that story a home. This is exactly whatโ€™s being lost. Stories like this matter.
Got my first big break covering preps at The Washington Post. My time in the sports department there meant more than I can ever properly express. This is still on my wall. Sad (and downright mad) to see whatโ€™s happening there to some truly brilliant people.
