John Wayne was once credited with saying, "Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway." I felt this applied nicely to how I feel with this upcoming orchiectomy. I'm scared, but I'm going through with it. The Spirit of God is my strength. When I am weak, then I'm strong.

Thanks to you all who have been, are, and will continue praying for me and well-wishing. After this, the port goes into my chest and a few weeks later they'll start the chemo. This is gonna be the hardest fight for me yet, and I will need continued prayers and admonitions.

Grace and peace.
