I was diagnosed Sept 2018 with stage 2 rectal cancer. I finished chemotherapy and radiation treatments and surgery in 3 weeks.

Hello, Scott, this is Leigh Bradshaw, your next door neighbor on Carrera St for 15 years, I'm so sorry to hear this news but I'm also so happy that everything has worked out for you and your family, I will add you and your wonderful family in my prayers. Please tell your mom and dad hello from us. We are now in Texas rebuilding our life and company, and life seems to be getting better for us, Kyle moved from St Aug to Dallas a year ago, and Sara is still there in St Aug. going to college to become an RN. If you're in the Dallas area let us know so we can watch you drive around the track. (we still have the same cell numbers that your parents have). Sending healing prayers, xoxo
