Joey's journey has been marked by the unexpected challenges of a rare diagnosis. Facing chordoma at such a young age has tested our family in ways we never imagined. Each surgery, each setback, has brought a new wave of emotions—fear, uncertainty, and sometimes, despair. But amidst the darkness, there's been a glimmer of hope—a community of support that has lifted us up during our darkest moments. What makes Joey's journey uniquely difficult is not just the medical complexities, or the fact of it being in environment that is not for kids but the emotional toll it takes on all of us. It's a reminder of the fragility of life and the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
