Matt,
Please know that you are never alone in your fight. My son was 19 when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He went through chemo, 2 surgeries, and many many doctor visits. Our prayers are with you and your family.

God Bless!!
Happy Thanksgiving

Hi, Matt I just want to let you know there is a light at the end of this tunnel. I was diagnosed on 10-3-05. I was just 22 with a new wife and newer house that I had to pay for. I never saw it coming it was a fast moving testicular cancer that had went to my lung I had two surgeries one to take one of the boys and on to remove some of my right lung. I then went in for 42 chemo treatments in a bit more than a year. I now live cancer FREE and I have a great new life. Jason Mraz has a song called the remedy it was for his friend that also had this gift of cancer just look it up and you will understand why I called this nasty thing a gift. Matt you just stay strong and go have a hell of a time on that track. I have you in my thoughts and prays just remember after each day on that chemo floor you one day closer to being done with cancer.

Matt, I hope you have an AWESOME time!! I read your story on Nascar.com. I wanted to tell you, my father was diagnosed in 1970 at the age of 29 with Stage 4 Colon Cancer. They did surgery and told him he has six months to live. Matt, that man is now 67. Please stay strong. Your story has brought tears to my eyes and I will continue to follow you and your blog. I'm a huge racing fan as well (I do like Matt Kenseth, but I must admit I'm a huge Tony Stewart fan-don't hold it against me!). Please, stay strong. Congratulations on your marriage.

Matt,

Good luck and enjoy every minute of it. I'm a 25 year old testicular cancer survivor. Keep up the great attitude and don't let it interfere with what you want to do! God Bless!
