Some of you know my battle this year. I was diagnosed with bladder cancer last October. I’ve spent a year fighting naturally to contain and prayed for complete healing. I’m in the best shape of my adult life dropping 75 lbs but the cancer continues to return after the 3 surgeries so far to cut it out. So now my wife and I have made the decision to move forward with the bladder removal and rebuild a new bladder using the small intestines.
I’ve had such an outpouring of love and support. Even a video message from Coach Sumrall. He’s cemented as my favorite coach of all time and is a top notch class act.
Surgery slated for Dec 1. Prayers appreciated. Pray for Dr James Ferguson the urologist who will be performing the surgery at UAB. Pray for my wife and family for strength. I am at peace no matter what happens.
I love you all! I love being a part of this community of TROJAN fans.

KSD on December 1 I pray that our Lord will be in the operating room and with all involved. That you will receive healing and recover well. I have had major surgeries and the folks at UAB are great. May the Lord the Lord's countenance be upon you

Brother KSD,
Prayers are being lifted for you, your family, and the medical staff. We appreciate you sharing this powerful message with your Trojan family. Life is way too short for getting upset about the trivial issues that we often discuss on this message board. We all know what is important in life and we should always live to make the most out of it every day. May the Lord grant you and your family the strength to deal with the surgery and the healing process that follows. I will add you to my prayer list and will lift you up in prayer while I am in Vietnam on December 1.
God bless.
Go TROY!

Day before yesterday I had my staples and catheter removed. We were planning to stay the night for any just in case scenario and decided to go ahead and stay last night as well since we were gifted tix to today’s game. I’m not 100% yet but I’m gonna try to participate in at least 1 thing and refuse to let this recovery process take all of my attention this holiday season. I missed the championship game because my surgery was the day before but I get to witness another TROY bowl victory today.
Go TROJANS! Cry HAVOC!

We didn’t get the W but I made almost to the end before my stamina got low. I did see our TD what a play as I was making my way to the shuttle. Now to continue the recovery.
Can’t wait to see how we do under our new leadership.
