Health Situation

As some of you know over the past few weeks I have been visiting different doctors and it has been determined that I have Testicular Cancer. On June 24th, I underwent minor surgery and had my left testicle removed in order to do a biospy on it to determine the extent of the cancer. As of today, June 25th, the cancer type is Seminoma, a type of testicular cancer that is very receptive to raditation and has about a 95% cure rate. I decided to create this blog to keep everyone informed of my current condition and allow you to ask me any questions and a way pass along your support for myself and my family. Once I have more information I will post it here for everyone to read. Again, I thank everyone in advance for your support and prayers, without them, this period would be very difficult for me.
