I saw this recent Facebook post from Lisa and thought some of you might be interested in a update on Gino.

"7 months ago, Doctors suggested that Gino and I get our affairs in order. A sudden and shocking stage four esophageal cancer with spread to the lymph nodes, lungs and brain was my husband's diagnosis. We heeded their words of wisdom. Signing and initialing multiple documents in our attorney's office. He initialed "GC" (Gino Contawe). I initialed " LM" (Lisa Mason). Dark, dark days followed with multiple surgeries, radiation, chemo. Today, we learned that Gino has no cancer in... the brain, practically nothing in the lungs and the esophageal tumor has shrunk so much that it can't be seen on a scan. What does it mean? Is he cured? Permanent remission? We don't know for sure....we live day by day.....but today I decided that the initials "GC" and "LM" no longer stand for our names. "GCLM" to me now means: "God's Compassion+Love=Miracles"! Life is a blessing. And a gift. We are grateful. Thank you for prayers. We humbly thank you. God Bless You. Gino and Lisa."

That is great news. It sounds like so far he is in partial remission. At least that's what they called it when I had a similar situation.
