Not a skinny Mexican for long

Below is an email written to my family to rally them to help fatten me up!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fam,

Brookie was kind of enough to start some research for me about a diet I need to aggressively follow over the next 5 days. Now it's time I turn to family to help me put this plan together and execute. I know that a proper diet is not only necessary but crucial to starting off a successful 2nd round of chemo next week. I have every intention to make sure that this happens.

As you know, I feel that the past 7 days has thus far been the most difficult. I have never before felt so drained of both physical and mental energy. But the good news is that I'm physically feeling a little stronger each day. I take this as a very good sign. But even better, mentally and spiritually I can feel a strengthening happening and I know God's ways are with me.

Please read the below emails and help me make next steps to beat this cancer with a vengeance and a little extra fat. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I always liked being the skinny Mexican in the family, everyone's always a little jealous of you.

Love,
Joel C Diaz II
