Well, here I am. Blogging. Here we go!
I'm 35 years old, married to my beautiful wife Stephanie and have the most beautiful daughter in the world, Baylee. The past 5 years of my life have been a roller coaster in every sense of the word.
1. August 2005 was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer. Had 7 inches of my colon removed along with several lymph nodes. About a month or so later i started chemotherapy. That wasn't as bad as everyone thinks. The facility in Amarillo was very nice, my doc was great and the staff was more than accomodating.
2. October 2005 i met Stephanie. That was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I had no idea she'd be my partner in life but I'm so glad we met!!! She's dragged me out of some bad times and I love and appreciate everything about her!!
3. October 2007 Stephanie and I tied the knot!!! GREAT DAY!!
4. In and out of chemo treatments.... same ole story.
5. June 2010. The other lady in my life made her grand entrance. Ms. Baylee weighed in at 6 lb. 14 oz. and 21 inches long. I know parents are biased, but Baylee's the most beautiful baby in the world. Gerber baby beware!!!
6. December 2010. Got a spot in a phase I clinical trial for a chemo drug that could be the future of cancer treatment. I know its chemo/poison, but it saves lives.
Roller coaster.... many ups and many downs, but i wouldn't trade my life for anything.
