With hesitation and fear, I openly declare myself in my fight against prostate cancer. In the next few days, I will undergo surgery with the hope of defeating this nemesis once and for all&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I make a solemn vow to all of those that once believed in me, the dead and the living, that I will wage my fearsome fight against cancer with one shield and one sword carrying my determination and my fury for life, emboldened by all the love that&#8217;s kept me going this long already. Love is my weapon and I&#8217;ve got much of it around me all the time, for which I&#8217;m truly blessed and eternally grateful. My children, grandchildren, and my loving wife Steph have been and will constantly be at my side.
