On 4/27/2023 coming out of anesthesia from a colonoscopy, I was unceremoniously told I had colon cancer.   

I was shocked.  I had no symptoms. It was the last thing I expected.

I’ve went from being scared to death, to numb, to anxious to mostly calm in less than 2 weeks.

I am usually a very introverted private person but in this case felt the nudge to go public.

Hopefully there is more to be shared in this journey than appointments, worries and fears.

So for better or worse I’m going to choose to use what talents and the maladies I have and let my voice be heard.

The name, ”I Will Not Go Quietly” is derived from the title of a song in the movie “The Apostle”. When it’s my time to go, I will NOT go quietly.

So this website is about THAT. The desire to say something while to still have breath. The desire to NOT GO QUIETLY.

Of this I am sure. God Loves me, and there is nothing I can do that will ever change that.
