Soldiers Waging A Battle Against Cancer

November 11, 2008

This weekend will be 2 years since my diagnosis with Stage IV Colon Cancer. I have been following this blog for the past 2 years. Always a source of reflection for me.

From Laurie Singer My Cancer ( http://www.npr.org/blogs/mycancer/2008/11/soldiers_waging_a_battle_again.html )

It’s Veterans Day. One of the rare holidays in this country we actually observe on the day it was intended. That’s because, even though World War I ended on June 28, 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, fighting had stopped seven months earlier. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

Look around — there’s our flag, dancing on a breeze at a veteran’s headstone, or on porches across America, in a soft salute to those brave men and women.

This blog brings together different veterans. Still fighters. Soldiers of sorts. Waging a battle in a very personal war against cancer.

This may not be your day on the calendar, but I salute you, too. Today and every other day, because I know your battlefield, and how destructive your enemy can be.

All veterans of wars have something in common.

Christ Follower Husband to Lori Dad to Josh & Austin Dad in Love to Dusty & Cyndi Stage 4 Colon Cancer Survivor Music Executive Red Sox Nation Roll Tide I'm married to my best friend in all the world. She still takes my breath away. After 31 years she still finds ways to amaze me. I'm a father to 2 sons who constantly drive me with their creativity and passion. They are both godly men and brilliant nusicians. I'm looking forward to seeing what they will do with their talents. Who knows maybe one day they'll hire me. I have been in the music business 25 years. Change is the only constant. I still get up in the morning excited about where we can go today. Music still touches the soul. It's still all about the song. Since my diagnosis 6 years ago with Stage 4 Colon Cancer, I've become involved with Livestrong. Everyday, cancer kills 1,500 Americans— one person every minute. This year, more than 550,000 Americans and six million people worldwide will succumb to this vicious disease. One out of three women and one in every two men will be diagnosed in their lifetimes. Who will you wear the yellow for?
