Mike Mottola, and his sister Jenn join the show to discuss their experience with Dana Farber as well as their Lou Merloni fandom   Mike is a Lou Merloni fan and appeared on air with him in 2016 and 2017.  Mike was diagnosed in October 2014 after having severe back pain during a golf tournament. He began treatment at another hospital until February 2015. He was in remission but before long it was clear he was having some complications. By July his cancer was back and he started treatment at Dana-Farber, with a new chemotherapy regimen. By July 12 he was in a coma because of a bad reaction to the chemotherapy and when he woke up he could not move his right arm or left leg and as a result he couldn't walk.  Mike rehabbed and by the end of August was finally able to head home. He spent every couple weeks in the hospital for more chemotherapy and spent the time in between doing more physical therapy.  Early December, Mike was moving around and he began the stem cell transplant process and by early January was allowed to go home and spend the next few months recovering under his parents' watchful eye.  Mike loves to golf and played in the with longtime friend Daniel Koerner in the USGA's seventh U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship. He also partakes in meditation and yoga as part of his holistic therapy.  His family includes his mom, Rosemary, his dad, Joe and sister Jenn. He is getting married in September to his fiancée, Kelsey Rose-Sinclair.
