Matt & Dani Fontanesi
Newlyweds navigating life, cancer, and life after cancer.
Our Journey in Photos
Our life before cancer...
August 21, 2015
(Our belated honeymoon begins)
August 24, 2015
(Matt pokes fun at himself for agreeing to go to the ER for what was certainly just a bug.)
An hour later
(We're admitted to the hospital, put into isolation, and assigned an infectious disease specialist and an oncologist. We await a diagnosis.)
August 26, 2015
(We celebrate our 6-month anniversary with hospital food, blood transfusions, walks around the hospital, and looking at photos from our wedding day. We also get the diagnosis: Acute Myeloid Leukemia.)
A Year in Photos: August 26, 2015 to August 26, 2016
