Hi beautiful people,
I am Daniele, father of two beautiful girls and husband of Valentina (of whom, for my safety I will not reveal the age :D ).
Born in Rome 37 years ago, coffee lover, traveller, tremendous dancer and bad writer.
5 years ago we decided to move to Manchester (uk), where I started working as a customer advisor for one of the biggest online car rental company .
Things were going great but one day .. on October 17th 2017 ... I was diagnosed with a fourth-stage colon cancer that was immediately described as incurable.
I will never forget that day.....I was sitting in a small room, in front of an oncologist that very nicely " :D ..I'm joking"..he was colder than ice.... gave me a deadline of 2 and a half years (if I was lucky).
I stood for a few moments unmoved, completely still as if I froze, then I began looking at my body and found nothing, no label, no expiration date, I looked at the DOC straight in his eyes and told him: " Ehy Doc, I'm not a yogurt I don't have an expiration date! "
From that day NO EXPIRATION DATE became my motto and my journey began.
After 15 rounds of chemo I was declared " operable " and had my liver and colon resection.
I`ve never been declared free of cancer and I'm still on treatment to keep things under control until is possible but its ok I can manage chemo quite well and have my "solo travel " around the world !!
remember always
NO EXPIRATION DATE !!!!!!

I love this line!

You are right, Daniele. No one truly knows our expiration date. You keep traveling, dancing, and enjoying your life to the fullest!

Thanks for the wonderful post!
