In February 2005, I learned I had colon cancer. For most of that year, I underwent recovery from surgery, as well as chemotherapy and radiation treatments. It was unbelievably challenging. With the help of my wife, Cindy, and numerous friends, I made it through and became a survivor. It was an experience that changed my life; in ways that I never could have imagined. .

During that time, I kept an online journal of my physical, mental and spiritual journey. If you're interested to know what that was like, visit John's Journal.
