A pothole on life's highway.

Well, it turns out that I was diagnosed with testicular cancer on February 28. I went to one doctor, complaining that one of my nuts wasn't like the other, and he said don't worry about it. Well a couple weeks later, I went to another doctor and he actually checked it, and things have moved pretty fast since then. Ultrasound showed it to be a tumour, and now I've had a CT scan to find out if and how far its spread. I have surgery on March 17th to have a radical Orchidectomy (yep - thats what its called when they remove one of your nuts) and then I'll know alot more about what I'm up against. Whatever it is, I'm gonna beat it. (Feel free to write your own jokes here)
It will require me to be around for a bit, which prevents me from going on the road. I have recieved a lot of support from friends, and I'm very confident that you haven't seen the last of me yet. I have never held back on anything on this blog, so thought I might as well come clean with this too. if you're the praying type, count me in, and just some positive vibes for me will help with this challenge.
