Ring That Bell!!! I’m the happiest person alive. Thank all of you for your support and prayers. This has been an unbelievable ride. New set of scans next week, but I’m done with the absolute living hell that chemotherapy is. People have it harder than me. God Bless them!

6 days in the Hospital, lost a foot of colon and 30+ lymph nodes, gained these 28 cool piercings (some not pictured😬), 6 months of chemo, but finally I’m headed home. My case proved to be challenging, but I have come to understand how blessed and lucky I am. #getacolonoscopy

So….been a rough week for the Robertson clan. I’ve been diagnosed with Colon Cancer. We believe it is localized in my colon and are hopeful we get to avoid chemotherapy. I have surgery scheduled for next Tuesday. The prognosis is positive as are we. #getacolonoscopy

What do you do the morning after your season opening scrimmage and a midnight bedtime? Well if you are these guys you get to @RuckerRocks by 7:15 to open car doors and greet some wee ones.
