Meet Sam Constantino of upstate New York. Sam and Dino have a long history together, both are very close with each other’s families. Like Dino, Sam also lost his father to pancreatic cancer. His father was diagnosed right around the time of Sam’s diagnosis.
Sam lost his father only 18 days after his own diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Doctors said his father’s tumor was too large and at that stage in his life, he was unable even to treat the cancerous tumor.
During his diagnosis, he was also mourning his father. He explains the emotional toll the family had to take during this time and the values they strive to adhere to to get through this hard time. Sam relies heavily on faith and quality loving time with his family after this life-changing experience with cancer.
Sam has always been an active and athletic person. From childhood, he was always involved in sports and athletic competitions and maintained a healthy lifestyle. He credits his lifestyle choices and athleticism for keeping him well as long as he has been considering he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer on November 3rd, 2022. He also shares his perspective as a former athlete, connecting his time as an athlete to fighting pancreatic cancer.
Sam shares a lot about how a positive mindset and staying active helped through his journey and kept him motivated in his post-cancer life. He stresses “moving forward”, and highlights the importance of laughing at yourself and spending quality time with loved ones. Join us for this week’s episode of the Project Purple Podcast Sam’s inspiring story!
