A New Struggle

To all my friends and anyone else reading this message.   I have always thought of myself as being somewhat athletic, as well as being extremely competitive and strong willed. I haven't updated this blog in a month or so, because of the following reason.
Sometimes, events in our lives cause us to reassess what is important in our lives and what is trivial.
I have recently encountered such an event.  Dr's have informed me that I have cancer in my left lung, which has spread to 3 spots in my brain and 2 spots in my adrenal gland.
I don't know what my future holds.  But I do know one thing;  in this, the biggest fight of my life, I will not give up or go down willingly.
I will battle until my very last breath is drawn.
That is my nature.
I approach the upcoming treatments with a positive attitude and and a somewhat reassuring realization that whatever will be, will be.
I don't control my destiny. None of us do.
Throughout my lifetime, I have thought that praying for oneself was kind of selfish. I still feel that way. However, if any of you feel inclined to offer a prayer on my behalf, I would forever be indebted to you.I will try to keep you informed of my condition.
I will update this blog as my condition permits
Dennis
