Doc was diagnosed with Stage 3 Testicular Cancer on Thursday, April 20 2023 after going into the ER, as he was experiencing pain in his abdomen and back for an extended period of time.

He had surgery on April 21st to remove the cancerous testicle and is now waiting on the pathology report to determine the exact type of Testicular Cancer.

He is scheduled to begin a 12-week chemotherapy regimen on May 1st, after which time he will be re-evaluated.

Please consider donating to ease the financial burden of their medical expenses. We ask that you keep our family in your prayers.

Any spiritual or financial contributions would immensely change the course of this journey.

Doc is in good spirits and ready to battle this head on. His faith is stronger than ever, and it's his prayer that God will be glorified in all of this.
