Update: November 27, 2024

Thank you sweet baby Jesus! Some very good news.


My latest petscan shows no new flare ups and no tumors. My lungs are clear and have recovered from surgery.  The lymph nodes are showing a glow, but some have lowered their glow score and one has stablized.  This is great news.


Next up was my special blood test, which is very important on how the chemo is working on my blood, finding and killing the cells of this funk. This is a special high tech blood test that can detect the hpv virus that created this enemy inside me, the hpv virus type 33 and type 16. (There are about 80 types of hpv viruses, but only about 4 of them give high percentages of bringing in can**r into your body)  From what I understand, the hpv virus lives in about 80 million people in the USA. It usually goes unnoticed and never causes a problem. I understand it houses or creates can**r cells.


On July 24 of this year I still had the hpv virus. The score that came in on that test was 433. It said I had a 95% chance of reoccurence of can**r with this 433 number.


On November 26, my test came back negative. The score was a big fat 0.  This test shows the hpv virus is not in my body now!! I am so excited that I'm out of controll with joy and to the fact that God has given me the strength, power and mental ability to stay in this fight and keep punching.


There is not a day that goes by that I do not talk to God, and believe it or not, I can hear him talking back to me.  I think if you are really listening, you can hear him speak.  He likes to have almost perfect timing when he speaks. Never stop listening for him.  You will know it's him from the sudden overflow of beautiful emotions, beautiful feelings of hope and love.  It is real! I know it. Just believe!!


I felt so good last Saturday I ran a small 3.1 mile race in Deltona and finished in 31:30!  I was stoked.  I felt so good after that, on Sunday afternoon I jogged 6.2 miles in 65 minutes.  I jogged without stopping for all 6.2 miles.  Glory be to God for giving me life, happiness and the strength to keep going. 


I am truly a blessed man to still be functioning after this long dark battle. There is no way it is just me pulling this load on my own.  It really is that simple. 


I just put the chemo pack back on this past Monday. This is chemo session 4 out of 6.  I wear it until Friday. After that I start going steeply downhill. My mouth gets raw and my energy drops extremly low for 7 days.  After that 7 days of fighting off the demons, the next seven days are a good, almost 100% recovery. (At least I still hope so)


I am a little over halway done with chemo. I'm  holding on well, and the doctors tell me it's rare to be doing so well with these treatments. They tell me to not stop anything I'm doing. I have not lost my hair or stache 🙂 and I have not lost a single pound!


To all my irrigation clients, thank you for staying with me during these difficult times.  I can usually work on the third week of treatment sessions.  As soon as the treatments end, I will be supercharged to get every single job caught up and make every yard is the greenest it has ever been!!  I so thank you for your mental, spiritual and financial support you have showed me.  I will always remember what you have all done. 


To my ROA friends, running friends, FTR friends, Davenportians and all the other people that gave me the energy, words and the financial help, I cherish every one of you forever.


I often wonder why I was so lucky to be able to meet so many wonderful people. I could name a thousand people that I know and met in my life that are awesome souls, good people, kind people and care about others. This is the biggest blessing of life. To get to know good souls while we are spending a little time on this big ball of dirt....makes it beautiful to live.  


May God Bless you all and give you the energy and strength to fight whatever battles you may be in. Please reach out to me if you need to talk. It would be a pleasure to spread some light into someone else's darkness. God knows, you all had spread your light into mine.


I love you all!

Jonny, the extreme live lover
