Thanks for stopping by

This blog is about our journey with life while living with cancer. John was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in February 2014. And so we walk "Side by Side." The title of the blog has been a phrase that Joyce and I have used for the past several years. It has been our way to deal with the reality that most plans and most days don't happen the way we had pictured it in our mind. And it has been our way to learn to anticipate the unexpected.

From Joyce

Everyone has been so concerned and supportive of John, Erin, and I during this difficult journey.  I know he would want us to continue to keep you all informed.  It is difficult for us at this time.  We will do our best to update this blog, as frequently as we can.  We will not, however, always be sending the email version of the update.  Feel free to check here frequently to know the current status.  Again we are so grateful for everyone who has showed their love and concern for all three of us.  It has truly felt like a community of caring like we could never have imagined. 

Thank you all.  Love Joyce

    Joyce and the entire Swank family. Carol and I were sadened to hear about John's passing away, he was a classmate of mine and a dear friend.
    The Swank and Bennett families have been friends for decades and share a common bond of being from Lewisburg, where hard work and honesty is a way of life.
