Thank You Letter
Hello Friends and Family:
As many of you may have experienced throughout your lives, life is full of unexpected events that forever change the way we live our current lives and future. Such an event happened to us recently when our loving son Andrew Aidan was diagnosed with a rare inoperable malignant brain tumor. Never in our minds would we have ever thought that something like this would have happened to such a loving, sweet, intelligent young man that truly enjoys life. We have experienced every possible emotion a person can feel when given news of this nature. While living this nightmare on a daily basis, we have had the blessing and fortune of having some very special people support us through every step of the way. In particular, our parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, Aunt Linda M., Andrew’s God Parents, Frank & Kathleen Rotondo, Veronica L., Wei C., Lissette M., Ronald McDonald’s House of Long Island (Thanks to Matt Campo & Brian Adames), Barclays/Bloomberg/Take Care Health Employees, Pace Alumni & Faculty, ATP Faculty & Students, Garden Bay Neighbors and extended family and friends. We have seen many old friends reach out to us in support and have made some new friends who have really shown their unconditional support of helping Andrew Aidan defeat this diagnosis. Some have reached out via email, face book, phone calls, in person visits and via text messages. We truly appreciate it all! Please do not take offense if we have been slow to respond but it has been an extremely painful experience to relive every day while we tend to his current medical needs as he still recovers from recent brain surgery. We truly appreciate the well wishes for a speedy recovery for Andrew Aidan.
We are very positive and believe that he is in the right hands, God's hands. We pray that the doctors at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center will do everything possible to help us in curing AA, as we like to call him. We have had the amazing honor of calling Andrew Aidan our son for the past 19 months and will be extremely honored to continue to do so once we have totally destroyed this disease from his body. His spirit for life has been astounding and his resilience truly admirable. He is a very strong young man that fights for what he wants and this will prove extremely valuable as we fight the biggest battle of our lives together. A hard battle that will require much sacrifice, but we will win and Andrew Aidan’s experience will help to inspire new stories of hope and victory in the future through his living testimony of being a Cancer survivor.
Thank you so much for holding us in your thoughts and prayers. We truly value you thinking of us and wish that you receive that wonderful positive energy back in your lives soon. Please remember that the lives we live are so short and fragile and can vanish in a blink of an eye. Appreciate your life for what it is and make it better, love those around you with passion and conviction while striving to be a better person to yourself.
We will provide updates to our battle with Cancer on a frequent basis through the following website:

We wish you nothing but the best! Thank you!

Just wanted to give you an update on Andrew. The surgery to relieve the water on the brain was a success. We are now waiting to get the final results on the tumor and are praying that the results come back noncancerous. We should know that info any day now. He has been upgraded to a stable room and may be able to have visitors. I will let you know what the doctors say about visits. Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts. They have helped out so much.

MRI today showed that the surgery is working so far. His tube will be clamped this weekend to see how he tolerates it. If he does well, then the tube comes out. If not, he goes back in the OR for the shunt. Preliminary biopsy showed that he definitely has cancer. What stage it is? We will know next week.
