Finding Someone New

Start Here with the Cancer Mess & Cure:

Stage 4 Colon Cancer was found in October of 2016. Working on a cure with Tennessee Oncology with Dr. Patrick Murphy. God is going to fix this, but I don.t know how or when. But I will do all I can to help. 

10/13/2016 - Sent for CT Scan by Dr. Scott Lieberman - having problem with  Urinary tract (Peeing to often)  CT Scan found Large growth on Appendix - Sent directly to Hospital for  Removal of Growth & Appendix 

10/14/2016 - Dr. Brown (Surgeon) removed the tumor - Did not think it was  anything to be concerned about. Went home Monday 10/17/2016. 

10/17/2016 - Dr. Brown called after 5:00 PM to inform us it tested positive  for colon cancer. Unusual due to being outside the colon, usually found inside the colon via.   colostomy. Scheduled 2nd. surgery for 11/04/2016. 

11/04/2016 - 2nd. Colon surgery to try to get as much out as possible.  removed about 1.5 ft. of colon and several lymph nodes. The lymph nodes came  back clear. (Yeah!) Went home Sunday 11/06/2016. 

11/21/2016 - Dr. Brown (Surgeon) check up, and scheduled meeting for Chemotherapy. Cancer was found in many organs, making it  Stage 4  Colon Cancer.  

12/06/2016 - Met with Dr. Pat Murphy first time - 2 hour review of many, many  side effects of Chemo. Went through about a 3 hour meeting with Tennessee  Oncology, myself, Lynda & David. 

12/14/2016 - Third surgery was to install a port in my upper left chest to get  the chemo treatments w/o having to do an IV on each treatment. DONE, came  home same day. 

12/16/2016 - PET & CT test in Nashville - Report came in fair, but cancer in  several locations. Chemo schedule starts 12/19/2016.  

12/19/2016 - First Chemo treatment. 5 hours in the chemo chair, wear a fanny  pack home for 24 hour chemo feed for next 3 days, then remove and come  back in 2 weeks to do it again. 

1/03/2017 - Chemo treatment. 5 hours in the chemo chair, wear a fanny  pack home for 24 hour chemo feed for next 3 days, then remove and come  back in 2 weeks to do it again. 

1/16/2017 - Chemo treatment. 5 hours in the chemo chair, wear a fanny  pack home for 24 hour chemo feed for next 3 days, then remove and come  back in 2 weeks to do it again. 

1/30/2017 - Monday - Chemo was cancelled due to “You are too sick for  chemo, go home until next week”. Get some Cannabis Oil, also start taking  Marino - Insurance will not pay for either 

2/6/2017 - Monday - Chemo cancelled again - this time “Your white cell blood  count is too low for Chemo, It would put you in the hospital by tomorrow”.  Wait until next Monday. Start Marinol drug today. Very expensive, not covered  by Insurance. Recommend Medical Cannabis.  

2/8/2017 - Pick up Cannabis oil this afternoon.  ( Rick Simpson Oil )  This is supposed to make me feel better, and also kill cancer cells. None of it  is paid by any insurance company. These non-medicare paid drugs are getting  expensive, but “If it helps ?” - We will see !! - Took first dose tonight, not  much effect, go larger dose tomorrow. Let you know if it helps later, might  take a few days to have any real effects. 

2/13/2017 - Chemo treatment today. 4.5 hours in the chemo chair,  wear a fanny pack home for 24 hour chemo feed for next 3 days, then remove  and come back in 2 weeks to do it again.  Met with Dr. Murphy (Oncologist) - Said he thinks I will have at lest 8 more  treatments after today. (Shit)  But the staff loves us (Mostly Lynda because she puts up with a lot.)  Medical Cannabis made me very sick last night? New symptom, I will hold off  for a day, then try it again. Let you know how it works. 

2/17/2017 - Removed Fanny pack on Wednesday (Drug in pack is 5FU), named  appropriately. Oncology lab changed the Chemo drugs, to help with side  effects, didn't work.  By Thursday AM, really sick, again on Friday, no way to go to work. Got up  first time around 2:30 PM. Anyone who has ever had Chemo is one tough  person. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever attempted. Not looking  for any type of pity, etc. just reality of Cancer & Chemo treatments.  Since Chemo start 0n 12/19/2016, I had no idea how hard this was going to  be. Surgery was a piece of cake by comparison. I will beat this with the help  of my family, friends & God Almighty. Hang in there people, this has got to  get better at some point. Love to all of you, I am truly learning what is  important, and it’s not what I thought it was in the past. “SMILE”  

3/15/2019 - Had prayer healing on a week night @ Grace Chapel while they were praying for  people with any problems, especially healing, etc.. I asked for prayer for  complete healing of what was then diagnosed as Stage 4 Colon Cancer. That  night I felt like I was healed while several people prayed over me.  On the next treatment date I told my Oncologist (Dr. Pat Murphy, Tennessee  Oncology) what had happened at Church. He was very skeptical, but agreed to  test me after one more treatment. They were all shocked when there was NO  SIGN OF CANCER AT ALL. I was told that day that other than the surgery (4 of them) and continuing problems from all the Chemo that there was Nothing showing  up to indicate the cancer was ever there. I have been tested about every 6  months since, and to date “NOTHING”  I truly believe I was healed that evening while they were praying for me. It  was immediate, I could feel it....  Since that night I have had some pretty bad problems with the Chemo  treatment, including Neuropathy in my Feet and hands and several other side  effects from the treatments. But I am doing very well considering where I  started.  I owe my cure to Jesus, my perfect wife Lynda, my Children and all the  prayers them and friends from all over the world who were praying for me.  Along with the great people that worked on me at Tennessee Oncology.  If anything changes, and I believe it will not, I’ll let you know here.  Meanwhile I will start some additional pages to talk about the good things,  Cancer is done with me.... 

My Life went to pieces the Day I Lost my wife of 47 Years:

On October 6th. 2020 Lynda died of a combination of Pneumonia & COVIS.

She was in he hospital for about nine days. Awake for the first five, then put in a coma to use a Breathing Machine to keep her alive. She died while in the coma. My Life ended.

I have traveled to over 20 countries and have explored some of the most beautiful destinations in the world. From the beaches of Bali to the mountains of Patagonia, I have captured my experiences through my camera lens and journal entries.

Through my travels, I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience on how to plan and execute a successful trip. I share my tips and tricks on my blog and social media channels, ranging from how to find cheap flights to packing hacks.

I am an avid photographer who loves to capture the beauty of the world through my lens. My travel photography has been featured in several publications and exhibitions.

One of my favorite things about traveling is exploring the local cuisine. I love to try new foods and learn about the culture and history behind them. Check out some of my favorite food experiences from around the world.
