“Many people don't realize they have to give themselves time to do things for themselves-

just to rest.”

- Roberto Ibañez

 

Roberto is an entrepreneur who used to work a lot and party a lot. His lifestyle was a non-stop like normal guys his age.

 

He was too busy, and he forgot to take care of himself. During one family trip, a skin irritation appeared on his right arm and was later diagnosed by his doctor as melanoma- the most dangerous type of skin cancer.

I called my dad, and I said, "Hey dad. I just had a call from the doctor, and she said that I have cancer- it's melanoma.

 

During this difficult time, he realized the importance of family. He was sad, but his family was around him and so he felt loved. His cancer brought his family together.

“Sometimes you don't give yourself a time to stop. This time in the hospital I was able to stop but with a good reason.”
