Andrew Del Frari has worked incredibly hard to reinvent his life, after a cancer diagnosis at age 52 ended his 26-year career in the education field, and left him with limited mobility and a diminished sense of purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was first diagnosed, I thought I\u2019ll just deal with this cancer and then when things get back to normal, I\u2019ll go back to work. I had no idea how hard it would hit me when that didn\u2019t happen \u2013 when there was no normal to return to,\u201d said Andrew.<\/p>\n

It was July 2017 when Andrew woke up with no vision in his left eye. Assuming the sudden vision loss was related to a stroke, his doctor ordered an MRI, but while the scan showed lesions on his brain \u2013 nothing indicated stroke or cancer. Four months later when symptoms persisted a second MRI was ordered and this time it came back showing that Andrew had a four-centimeter brain tumour.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust days before Christmas, I was diagnosed with primary central nervous system lymphoma. They said it was very aggressive, considering the tumour grew to be four centimetres in diameter in just four months,\u201d he said. \u201cI was fortunate in one sense though, the cancer had not spread to my bone marrow\u201d.<\/p>\n

Andrew\u2019s two sons in their teens, and his wife, a pre-school teacher, were shocked but very supportive. Andrew\u2019s wife went on compassionate leave, as Andrew braced himself for the harrowing treatment that would include highly toxic chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant using his own stem cells.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter they retrieved and stored my stems cells, they gave me dangerously strong chemo to kill every stem cell in my body and prepare for the transplant. It was brutal,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was so potent, my body was getting rid of the toxins through my sweat glands, so I had to shower every six hours and change my clothes and bedding, otherwise the chemicals would burn my skin.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April 2018 Andrew successfully underwent the stem cell transplant, and two weeks after he was released from hospital in June \u2013 an MRI showed no sign of the brain tumour.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course I was very relieved the cancer was gone, but at the same time, I was very uneasy. I wasn\u2019t the same at all anymore, and I didn\u2019t like the way my new life was looking.\u201d<\/p>\n

After two years of restorative exercises and physiotherapy, Andrew was declared \u2018permanently disabled\u2019 and told he would never return to work. This launched him into a major depression.<\/p>\n

\u201cI needed therapy and medication to bring me around. I had to come to the realization that yes I am disabled, this is the way it\u2019s going to be now,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n

Andrew felt particularly bad about how much his cancer affected those he loves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt terribly guilty for putting my family through all this. It\u2019s been such a burden on my wife, I know how much it affected her and how it still affects her, she worries it will come back. I really wish it didn\u2019t have to be this way, but I have had to find a way to make peace with it. To find acceptance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A Boost from Wellspring<\/h4>\n

Around the time he finished treatment, Andrew discovered a Wellspring brochure and with some urging from his wife, he decided to check it out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWellspring helped me turn my life around,\u201d he said. \u201cRight away I got the sense that I\u2019m not alone. After cancer, your life is changed forever, but now I was around others who knew what it felt like and that helped.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first program Andrew signed up for was Money Matters<\/a>. He appreciated Wellspring\u2019s one-on-one approach to helping with insurance, drug coverage, and income replacement programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeghan was a tremendous help to my wife and I. She looked into all the forms we needed, helped us fill them all out, I really don\u2019t know what we would have done without her,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also joined Men\u2019s Group<\/a> in person before centres closed due to the pandemic, and he continues to attend online even now when he can.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice to hear from men with all different kinds of cancers, talking about their experiences and their treatment,\u201d said Andrew. \u201cWhen I was going through my stem cell transplant there were others who were going through the same, or had gone through it, so it was helpful to talk and share information.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrew also found that even with his limited mobility he could participate in the Chair Yoga<\/a> program, which was something he had never imagined doing. But perhaps his greatest discovery was the power of art \u2013 in helping him to heal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was going to the Open Art<\/a> program before the pandemic, but then there were four or five months when I didn\u2019t really want to do anything. Then one day I showed up in the class again and they welcomed me back so warmly and openly, it made me feel very accepted \u2013 it was like I had never been gone – it made me very happy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

His wife noticed how the art program improved Andrew\u2019s disposition, so she suggested that he think of art as his new job. This seemed to resonate. \u201cFor now it\u2019s my new job. But really it\u2019s therapy for me \u2013 a blessing in disguise. It has really been the art that has helped me move forward with this new life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrew makes a point to tell others who are living with cancer that they really do need to find their way to Wellspring.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever level you are at during or after cancer, there is something for you at Wellspring. They will welcome you, accept you, and help you move your life forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the meantime, slowly but surely, Andrew is coming to terms with his new reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to come to a place and tell myself, it\u2019s never going back to how it was. Life will be different. But can I make the best of it? Yes I can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
