Jon

Thinking about October being cancer month. I've decided to share some stories of friends and family. Seems like the last 2yrs have been filled with it.

 

This is Jon

Jon is a wonderful man. I love him like a father.

 

I think about 7yrs ago he was told he had prostate cancer. His option was cut it out, or cut it out. This is a big decision for any man to make.

 

They told him they had taken it all and things would be good. However, his followup tests showed his PSA levels continued to climb.

 

So, now they think it's in his bones. Did he cry about it? Did he make up stories about people hurting his feelings? Nope,,

 

They moved to Arizona and he bought a shinny Red Corvette. They drive it everywhere. Road trips to Montana, Washington, all over. He likes to go fast and told me he isn't worried if he gets a ticket as he won't live long enough to lose his license. He's living life one day at a time.. He's my hero.

 

He never talks about it, doesn't let it ruin his life. What an amazing example of a man and friend. Happy Trails Jon, see you soon..

 

For a cure.

Steve, John, Denise, Jon, Tina, Jane, Dad, Carolyn...And to everyone else.
