Well, I  had rode my bike 400 miles plus, trained, prepared, then noticed a need to go visit the doctor. After some cautionarey tests, they found a tumor in my colon:, not ;. Since my body was already prepped we went to Poc med Center for surgery that took the next day. The tumor and a few other things were found with cancer.

According to the Oncologist, a dozen rounds of chemo should take care of the problem.

First, all that training for the bike ride, a waste? Not at all, as the doctors could not believe my cardio conditioning. I was training for a bike ride, God was training me to fight cancer. Oddly, as I look at the past sevral months, I feel somewhat prepped to attack it. I do have fears, I have stressed in ways that shows my faith weak, but in the end I trust in God.

Second, O my, the support of people praying. Family, friends, those I've met once those I've never met. Thanks all. Please don't stop. Please uphold Shell in prayer as well.

Finally, just the number of those willing to stop in, help, wow... It is great having the support we have had. The soreness of my staples is kicking in. so I am ending this.

Thank You

Thank You God
