For 30 years, my wife and I dreamed about celebrating our anniversary with the trip of a lifetime. The reservations were made, the excitement was building, and we were finally ready to begin the next chapter of our lives.

Then cancer changed everything.

In this heartfelt episode of Jonesing For The Journey, I share the difficult decision to cancel our long-awaited 30th anniversary trip after my prostate cancer diagnosis—and the unexpected lessons we discovered about love, priorities, and finding purpose when life doesn't go according to plan.

This isn't just a story about a canceled vacation. It's about navigating disappointment, protecting what matters most, and learning that while cancer may change your plans, it doesn't have to steal your hope.

In this episode:

• Why we canceled our dream anniversary trip
• The emotional impact of a prostate cancer diagnosis
• How cancer reshaped our retirement plans
• What my wife and I learned through disappointment
• Finding purpose when life takes an unexpected detour

Whether you're facing cancer, supporting someone you love, or grieving a dream that didn't unfold the way you expected, I hope this episode reminds you that hope can still be found—even when the destination changes.
