Everyone needs to say a prayer for Aaron. Unless you've been thru the hell of cancer you'll never understand. He deserves a whole lot of admiration for attempting to make a comeback while still being treated. Chemo is the devil. There are many forms or types of chemo. Each one has its own set of bad side effects. Then there is radiation. A round of radiation is usually 3 months long with treatments 5 days a week. Radiation comes with its own side effects too. If in the head region, dead saliva glads, dead taste buds, weak bones(easy to break and often won't heal properly) . We all go thru life, we know cancer exists, but until you have it or the immediate family does you don't really understand how bad it is. I've known people that chose death before another round of chemo. It's terrible. Every day is a struggle. Yes, Aaron deserves our prayers and admiration. Be thankful you have your health. I myself was told I'd be dead by Dec 2018. I've been thru one surgery and the battle com6 rounds of chemo, and two rounds of radiation and the battle continues. God Bless you all and please take the time to say a prayer for Aaron Martens. God Bless you all.

May I add that if you start feeling odd or anything changes on your body get checked. I started having headaches everyday, I feared that I had a brain tumor. I instead had a tumor on my left tonsil. I had never used tobacco. I guess its just luck of the draw. God Bless you fellas and your families.

I was lucky. I went through 6 months of chemo and came out on the other side and have been cancer free since 2013. Those six months and the two months of symptoms before they figured out what I had were the worst 8 months of my life. It's brutal. Again, I was lucky. I pray for Aaron and his family because cancer affects your loved ones too. I lost my 39 year old niece to ovarian cancer in February. My wife has been through skin cancer. It is an evil disease. This is exactly why we do our Fish For A Cure every year. Please come out and join us in the fight against this killer.

CANCER SUCKS! Can't say it enough.
I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I've lost dear friends way too early to it.
Watching Aaron going through this just brings those memories to surface.
I pray for anyone that is dealing with it.

Man. I hope the guy gets better. I know he’s in better condition than 90% of us. I’d never make it if I went through what he’s going through.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.
