Cancer Stinks!

On October 5, 2011, I went into the McKay Dee surgical center in Ogden to have my tonsils removed. Instead, the doctors found a cancerous tumor growing behind my tonsils. It's called "Nasopharyngeal Rhabdomyosarcoma" and I'm told it's curable about 80% of the time for someone like me. It's going to be a long road, but I think it's going to be 100%.

Tonight Jeremy had some special visitors. Brad Harris organized a special surprise for Jeremy. He enlisted the boy scouts in troop 540 and a few other special young men. It looks like Jeremy and James are not the only ones sporting a new haircut! What a good looking group of young men!

Jeremy was being shy....but his smile shows his appreciation! Brad along with the Boy Scout Troop 540 awarded Jeremy a "Medal For Courage And Valor" in his fight against cancer. 

Here is the certificate and medal. I told these valiant young men, that they may be awarding Jeremy an award for courage, but each of them deserves an award for compassion, charity, and Christ like service. We are so touched by their thoughtfulness and support. Jeremy can wear his new medal along with his courage necklace when he goes to the hospital for his chemo and radiation treatments. We will definitely frame his certificate to display in his room. 














A special thank you to Brad, Bryant, Nathan, Jadon, Dylan, Ryan, Kevin, Nathan W., Will, James, Amber, and Angie! We are so appreciative to each of you for your love and support! Thank you for your visit tonight! It was definitely a morale booster!
