The treatments start soon.. also Dave Dravecky story..

I don't update this blog nearly enough but find it hard to come up with new stuff to write.  My purpose is really to just get my thoughts down when I feel so led, today is such a day.

Yesterday I came across the story of Dave Dravesky, you can find info on his struggles and battles with the exact disease that I have.  A brief synopsis is that he was a major league pitcher for a brief time, found out that he had the same tumors that I have in his pitching arm.. Same location too, how odd.. He ended up having surgery and going through rehab to only pitch two games before snapping his arm.  The tumors came back and radiation or surgery did not work. His arm was amputated and so was his career.  Google him for more info.. It's really inspirational.

Next week I start my 6 weeks of daily radiation treatments.  This is kind of freaking me out but I know that God is in control and I should not worry.  Easier said than done, it's easy to let it consume me but luckily through my wife, family, friends and God I cope with it pretty well.  The odds are in my favor of keeping my arm but the unknown is just that.  Nothing I can control but it's still tough to not think about it.

Praying for successful radiation treatments but most of all for God's will.  Whatever happens to me, I just hope that I can glorify him with whatever outcome I face.

I appreciate any and all prayers and continue to put my faith in Him.  I hope that my small journey can be of help to someone else that may be facing life struggles.  Lucky for me that I have a great wife that supports and takes great care of me even though I can be a little difficult at times..

Enough ramblings for now.. In Christ I trust!
