Battle Against Cancer

 

     I haven't posted anything in a while, and it has really been bothering me.  I don't quite seem to have the energy that I used to have to do many of the normal everyday tasks that I've done for so many years.  I was recently diagnosed with cancer, and I just finished up my sixth round of chemotherapy.  

     The treatments are intense and last for three days at a time.  My diagnosis isn't great, but I've been told to keep my spirits up and work on my nutrition.  I've decided to put everything in God's hands and focus on controlling the things that I can control. I am enjoying spending quality time with my family and friends.

      I hope to post some more really great articles soon.  I recently went to Flat Rock Speedway, a Toldeo Mud Hens game, and a Detroit Tigers game.  I took some amazing photographs that I plan to upload in the upcoming days and weeks.  Thank you for checking out the Mitten State Sports Report and thank you to all of the people who have been keeping me in their thoughts and prayers.
