Blog Retired

"Parting is such sweet sorrow."

- Shakepeare, Romeo & Juliet

With more than a little hope, I am optimistically closing out this blog. It's purpose was to document my cancer fight, to provide honesty and information to those who have to fight this disease in the future . . . and to keep my support network in the loop on my progress.

In closing this blog, I am taking the leap of faith that cancer is behind me. It's not a certainty, but by closing this blog, I am making a statement that I believe I'm cured and ready to get back to living.

There have been a number of other cancer patients who contacted me and found this blog helpful. This brings a tear to my eye, well that and thinking about those who will find this blog in the future. To those, you are not alone and you can win your fight! God loves you, regardless of how you feel about Him. Embrace life, even if it's upside down for a while. I know what you're going through and what you will go through, and my heart goes out to you. If you stay positive and hopeful, you always have a chance. Surround yourself with loved ones and remember your job is "to just get through it". If you have questions or need to talk, please contact me.

To those new folks I've come to know, please stay in touch. I am grateful for your posts, your interest, and your positive support.

Dave and Kristina, Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us and for being a model of strength for those of us still in the thick of the fight.

It was such a great honor to be able to share with those in my church that have been praying for you, that your blog has been 'retired' with the cancer free diagnosis.
Thank you for allowing all of us, to share your struggles and to be there for you and your family, in support, even if only through prayer. (it surely works!!)
It really is an honor to be able to say I know someone as strong and courageous as you. You faced quite a giant and came away victorious! You really have been an inspiration to so many. May God continue to bless you with good health and happiness!

I wish not concur on it. I regard as precise post. Particularly the title-deed attracted me to be familiar with the sound story.

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view

I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing
