If you’ve been keeping up with my blog, you know that Dr. Schertz was like a father to me. The man almost single handedly saved my life. On November 28th 2013, Dr. Schertz was walking back to the cancer center from Roanoke Memorial Hospital when he was struck by a car. He died as a …

Latest update
I know it’s been a long time since I’ve updated this blog, and I’m sorry for that. I went a few weeks ago to get a CT scan and a brain MRI as a normal checkup. I spoke with Dr. Buck and Dr. Shertz last week and the scans look good. The tumors are still …
Just a friendly update
Hey guys! I just wanted to give you a quick update on myself. 2 weeks ago I went for an MRI of my head, and a full body CT scan as a normal checkup. On my way home, Dr. Buck called me, and said that everything looked great with my head. The 2″ hole in …
LATEST AND MOST IMPORTANT UPDATE I’LL EVER POST!!!

CT results
Josh went to the doctor last week for a checkup. The cancer center was really busy that day and Dr. Schertz seemed rushed. He did a thorough exam on Josh but then didn’t really discuss the CT results other than saying everything looking “okay” which was okay since I always ask for the CT report …
1 Year!
Circumstances in life often take us places that we never intended to go. We visit some places of beauty and others of pain and desolation. I never imagined that cancer would be a part of my life history–especially not at the age of 23! Like with any great trial, God uses everything for good if …
May CT Results
So as you probably know by now, I went on Tuesday for my CT scan. It was very interesting. The nurse was injecting the contrast through my port for the CT and the needle popped out of tubing and the contrast shot everywhere. She had to give me a bath while I was in the …
