Some of you may recall that in August of 2007, I was diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer. Because of medical issues with chemo and radiation treatments, pain problems, hospital stays, and several surgerys it has been a rough year for my Wife Lisa and myself. I've had good days but far many more bad days, to where it was a major undertaking just to get out of bed it seemed. Just the thought alone of having such a terrible disease as cancer was bad enough but to know that I was going to soon have to undergo a total colostomy and have a bag attached to me for the rest of my life was just the proverbial cherry on top of the sundee. There were times that it seemd like all we ever got was more bad news, until yesterday.

Went in for a Dr's office visit yesterday and got the news.

CANCER FREE!!!!

There are still some "suspicious cells" that have to be dealt with, but the tissue where they are located is being removed. I have one final surgery on 9/29 to remove the questionable tissue area, along with some scar tissue. 1 to 2 months to heal and I should be back to normal again.

I want to thank you all for the warm thoughts and prayers during this terrible time for us.
