Journal entry by Ryan Bond —
Team Bond is making another pivot based on Ryan's cancer progression and prognosis. Rucha, Carly, and Will are planning to relocate to Austin, TX in early June while Matthew remains in Richmond to finish his senior year.
Ryan had originally planned on relocating to TN, but given the shift in his prognosis, he and Rucha agreed that it would be better for him to go to Austin to maximize his remaining time with the kids. His goal, as long as his health and treatment plan can accommodate it, will be to spend most of his time in TX and about a week a month in TN, visiting family and working from UTSI campus.
He will likely move sometime in the last couple of weeks of July or the first week of August. His oncologist has advised him to settle into the new location no later than six months from now. Austin is where he will finish this journey. We are hoping and praying that he will be able to see Matthew graduate next May. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement as we enter this difficult and sad phase.
