I was diagnosed with testicular cancer in October 2006. Reading the blog from the bottom up describes the sequence of events. The blog will continue to tell about the on-going treatment activities and road to a cure.
• Extreme support and caring from my immediate family – Sherry, my wife, has been with me on every appointment and supports me in every possible way, my two children Shannon and Chris have also provided much needed support
• Caring and support from the rest of my family: mom, dad, sisters, in-laws, aunts and uncles
• Genuine concern, caring and support from friends and co-workers
• Faith in God
• Highly capable team medicine – the best treatment in a timely manner
• Good health care coverage
• Understanding company for allowing flexibility during these times
