Joe has 3 brothers who are FDNY Firefighters. All three were at the WTC on that horrible day. All three survived, and along with their father, later acted as Honorary Captains for the Patriots before a game against the New York Jets. Joe has been involved in fundraising for cancer research helping to raise over $400,000 for childrens brain cancer research. I second Howard T's thoughts, and wish him a quick and full recovery.

He couldn't be in a better place to be treated. Second that -- I know a fair number of good stories to come out of Dana Farber. Best of luck to Joe and all others living with cancer.

I believe that Joe Andruzzi has a brother who is a New York Fireman and who was at the World Trade Center in 2001. Courage runs in that family. I wish Joe nothing but the best. He couldn't be in a better place to be treated.
