He explained: “Colleen did all the research, she’s a great medical professional, and through my insurance we got her the best care.”

I went to most of the appointments in Philadelphia, took time off work to drive her there. I tried to support her as best I could, being by her side and meeting with all the doctors, trying to understand the cancer and her diagnosis, doing all the research and being as supportive as I could. I was at her surgeries while still trying to hold down my job. I was pretty much stretched to the max and overwhelmed and exhausted. I think I did my best for her, trying to be the best kind of friend, I guess, while knowing full well that we might not end up together in the end.”
