Happy to share that I’m officially done with chemo! I rang the bell today and nearly ripped it off the wall. This journey has not been easy and it isn’t over yet, but this is an important milestone. For the next two years, my hematology team will continue to monitor me closely with PET and CT scans every six months to make sure there’s still no evidence of disease.

For now, I’m grateful that I don’t have to live between chemo cycles and that I get to have my life back. Getting through this without my mom, my family and friends, and my team at JSPT would have been infinitely harder. Thank you for the meals, the rides to chemo and bloodwork appointments, constantly checking in, and for just sitting next to me throughout all of this. It means that world to me and I’m very thankful that I get to spend more time on this planet with you. taken in Hillcrest, San Diego by @feelingjovany

Little Jovany would be so proud of Big Jovany if he could see me now, because back then, the things I have today weren’t even in my vocabulary. I couldn’t have imagined owning a private practice, having the kind of support network I do now, or building the relationship I have with myself.

I love that little guy, and I want to do everything I can to make him proud because he deserves it.

The road from Little Jovany to who I am now hasn’t been easy, but it’s made me a fighter. The lessons I’ve learned along the way have set me up for the biggest fight of my life.

I received a diagnosis of cancer in July 2025 and I’m doing everything I can to stay here. I want to prove to Little Jovany that all of the challenges that came before this one set me up to beat this. I am standing toe-to-toe with this cancer and I’m not backing down and I’m not going anywhere.

The love, encouragement, and support that I’ve received from my tribe has been a strong motivator. I’m thankful for it because I need more positivity than I can give myself alone right now. This is all very new and things are changing rapidly so I created a caringbridge account to keep my friends and family updated. It’s the best way I have to disseminate information to you.

This isn’t my time to go and Little Jovany has so much more to be proud of, including beating cancer. by @feelingjovany
