On November 21, 2022, a total laryngectomy took my voice — surgery to remove throat cancer. I was one of the first people in the U.S. to use the Ava Voice device, at Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC), and I was declared cancer-free about ten months later.

Going through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, I found there was no planner that actually understood what any of it was like — the appointment chaos, the medication schedule living in my head, the emotional weight nobody warns you about. So I built the one I wished I'd had.

Every planner in this shop comes with a free companion app (no login, nothing to install) and is built the same way: from someone who has actually lived through this, not guessed at it. I'm a 40-year live broadcast and audio engineer by trade, now building software — and this shop is where those two things meet.
