I am terminal with Glioblastoma brain cancer. But previous to cancer I was still terminal. Death has always been the great enemy, everyone dies. But it all changed after Jesus died, came back to life, and beat death!

Living with Brain Cancer

On Wednesday, February 20th, 2019 I was diagnosed with Glioblastoma brain cancer. The news has turned my world upside down. I am currently undergoing treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston with my wife Amy until April 24th. My prognosis is terminal but I have put my hope in things above. My life is now in the hands of God.
