Gratitude message from the wonderful Frankie Banali... Stay Strong <3
“ONE YEAR AGO TODAY ON APRIL 17TH 2019 WHILE AT THE EMERGENCY ROOM I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE 4 PANCREATIC CANCER THAT HAD SPREAD TO MY LIVER. THE PROGNOSIS WAS SIX MONTHS TO LIVE. TODAY MARKS THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. I HAVE GUARDED OPTIMISM FOR THE FUTURE WHILE UNDERSTANDING THAT FOR THIS DEADLY CANCER THE SURVIVAL RATE IS ONLY 10% FOR 1 TO 5 YEARS. NONETHELESS I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE. WITHOUT MY WIFE Regina Banali I WOULDN’T HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR. THIS IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION, BUT RATHER THE TRUTH. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR ME WHICH IS EVERYTHING 24/7/365. MY THANKS TO MY MULTITUDE OF DOCTORS AND NURSES BOTH AT KAISER & PRIVATE CLINICS. LAST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR MESSAGES OF LOVE & PRAYERS WHICH MEANS THE WORLD TO ME. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THIS JOURNEY HAS NOT BEEN EASY. TOGETHER LET’S SEE WHERE THIS ROAD LEADS TO. (PHOTO CREDIT 2019: Christopher Ameruoso)
