It’s a genetic condition, it runs in the family.  🤣

Just a little update on me.

Today (March 18, 2025) I will be going to my surgeon and having my chest chemo port removed.

So today is another positive milestone in my cancer journey. Praise the Lord.

I was diagnosed with colon cancer on April 27, 2023.

I had colon resection surgery on May 15, 2023.

Then I had 6 months of chemo treatments that ended November 14, 2023.

Since then I’ve had a clear “all good” colonoscopy. I have had CT scans and blood work every 3 months. With all my results showing no evidence of any reoccurrence of cancer.

So my Oncologist told me we would do another CT scan in July, 2025 then go to a frequency of once a year, for the next 3 years.

The BIG news is she also told me she thought it was time to have my port removed. To be honest, it really doesn’t bother me physically but mentally its feels like a big win.

Linda and I recently celebrated all this good news by going on a vacation to Cancun, Mexico. It was beautiful. We had a great time.

One of the weird things about having a bout with cancer is it makes you feel like you need to be living. You think about how you want to enjoy life and do some of the things you have never done.

It makes you want to be MORE. It makes you want to do things NOW and not wait. Seize the day and be all you can be and do some of the things you have always wanted to do but haven’t done yet. Like build a blogging website, for example

So today, I am having my port removed. It’s a simple outpatient minor surgery, so no worries. A small thing removed physically but a huge thing removed mentally.

Then we are going on another vacation to the beach at Port St. Joe, with my son Jared, his wife Amanda, and my sweet little grandchild Porter Raye, who is growing up too fast.

It’s time to celebrate. It’s time to live. It’s time to be MORE.

Thank you Lord. Thank you for blessing me. Help me be MORE.

I love you my friends.

I Will Not Go Quietly.
