In early 2024, my 4-year-old son, Gus, was diagnosed with retinoblastoma. We felt the panic, fear, and grief no parent ever wants to experience. As devastating as that moment was, we were also given the greatest gift: HOPE.

In 2025, Steve was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. The diagnosis turned our world upside down overnight, but it also introduced us to something we’ll never forget: the extraordinary expertise of Steve’s care team at MSK.

My mom taught me to always take the next step. Throughout her battle with cancer, there were so many moments when the next treatment was hard, scary, and completely unknown. But she kept moving forward.
