And here is his latest entry. 

I know that is has been a while since I last updated my blog but I had to go through a storm.

My last treatment last week was to be Monday through Friday but it did not turn out that way. I had to say an extra three days because I did not take to well to the chemo this time. I truly have to say that if it was not for my wife, family and friends I am not sure how I would have made that one. It was so nice to get beautiful text messages that keep you spirits lifted.

I got home on Monday and started to eat like a pig, since I had not eaten anything in seven days. I lost so much weight during that time I dropped two pants sizes. I was not going to buy new clothes because I knew that I was going to gain it back. I went to the doctors on Monday and I gained all my weight back.

While going through the storm I realize that God will send people around you or in your space that will help you get through, I was truly amazed when the nursing staff was checking on me to see if I need anything and these nurses were not my nurses. They just remembered me from before and wanted to show me love.

It took me a while to start feeling like myself after I got out and it seems like once I start feeling like myself, it time to go right back in to start it all over again.

Keep me in prayer because I go back in on Monday and pray that everything will be alright.
