It's me fellas. I'm here. This is the first post that I've made since I've been in this joint. I'm having a somewhat hard time sleeping due to the constant in and outs of all of the doctors and nurses. I have more chemo scheduled for tomorrow. So far... my body seems to be handling the drugs as well as possible. My immune system is pretty week and I have to wear a large mask whenever I leave the room. They are very particular about visitors right now simply due to have susceptible I am to infections right now.

My blood sugar is high right now due to all of the steroids so they are providing me with insulin to keep it down. I had a CT scan on my pancreas today to make sure everything was good to go with tomorrow's chemo session. Overall, I'm just tired and weak. I have pretty bad night sweats but I'm making it.


I would like to reach out to each and every one of you all. My family (and myself) sincerely appreciates the prayers. It's scary. I'm still nervous. I'm still pretty terrified. But I trust in the lord and we pray and read our bible every single night. I want to be around for a very long time to take care of my wife and my kids. They are the world to me.

I've seen the t-shirt design and I also can't thank all of you enough. I even saw the threads to raise money for us. I can't even begin to explain how much I appreciate this. It means more to me that any of you will ever know. You are all my brothers (and sisters). Thank you for taking your time and personal property to help our the Cannon family. I'm literally in tears. Your kindness, thoughts, prayers, and financial donations cannot be put into words.

As most of you know, our sole form of income is through the gun show circuit. We work these to buy new inventory each and every week and to pay our bills. Sadly, it doesn't look like we are going to be able to work shows for a while. Caitlin is staying with me day and night at the hospital. My mother has taken a leave of absence from her teaching position to take care of the kids. With my immune system in the shape that it's in and the shape that it will likely be in for months to come, we will likely have to take some time away from the shows. We are currently looking for other ways to sell guns, but it may take a bit of time to formulate a plan. I've always done all of the buying, selling, communicating, numbers, etc.. Caitlin has always been the paperwork head. Granted I often have to chip in on the paperwork as well due to the volume that we have been fortunate enough to do over the years.

We will figure it out. I'm sure.


Again, thank you so much for each and everything that all of you have done for us. You are truly great people and words cannot express how thankful we are for you. Just please continue to pray for a remission and a 100% full recovery. I'm still afraid but I'm chipping away at my fears as much as I can each day.
 
Glad to her from you man we are pulling for you. Just take it easy and get well. You are in our thought and prayers.
 
Hang in their brother, you are in my prayers. God bless you.
 
Best wishes, lots of prayers, and please use lots of hand sanitizer after logging into this place!
 
Go Jerek!
 
Praying for you every night, and many times during the day. You will beat this!
Anything you need, say the word. We'll do whatever we can to help.
 
Good to see you posting!
We're all praying for you and looking forward to more positive updates.
You got this!
 
Glad to see you around. Stay strong.

You are in our prayers. Sounds like you have an awesome support team in your family.

Praying the chemo is not too rough and that you have a healthy recover straightaway!
 
Only thing important now is you getting better. The rest will work out. Best wishes Jeremy as we fully expect to see you on the show circuit again soon. Keep us updated.
 
Praying for you daily. Buddy. Stay strong and keep fighting!

Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you Be strong and courageous.
Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
Mathew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough troubles of its own.

Pullin and prayin for you Jerek.
 
Good to hear from you, Jerek. Thanks for letting us know how you're doing and thanks to your wife for the updates. A good friend went through the same thing as you a couple of years ago and today he's fine. You are in the right place for treatment. Hang in there and follow their instructions.
 
Great to hear from you! Be strong throught the treatments, you'll be back in time. Will keep you and your family in my thoughts & prayers.
 
Canā€™t wait to see you again, brother!
 
Stay strong brother! We are praying for you daily.

Jeremiah 29:11-13
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
 
Jerek,
Hang in there, you've got this covered.
Please let us know whatever it is that you, your wife or your mom needs and we'll see that it happens.
You are our brother, the feeling of something on your hand is all of us holding your hand thru this.
Ron
 
Praying for you and looking forward to a recovery and return. Stay focused and committed to following a path around this to success. My desire is for you to have an opportunity then to encourage many others.

Thank you for the update.
 
Jerek, I know I have not met you yet. Many members on here have had the pleasure, my brother included. They all think the absolute world of you. So that is good enough for me until you get to feeling better and we can all get together. Stay strong and keep fighting. We are all here for you. Please know that two of the greatest gifts we can can ever have in life are ā€œthe courage to face even a daunting challenge and the humbleness realize we are never doing it aloneā€.

In my long winded way I am saying, we have your back and are rooting for you. Get well soon!

Jerek, more prayers sent for you and your family. We haven't met but everyone here says you're a great guy-course my friends lie for me too! I know we will meet in person so hang in there and concentrate on getting better.
 
It's great to see you feel well enough to include us in your therapy, Jerek. On the other hand, getting any therapy from this bunch of reprobates puts your sanity in question :D.

You don't know me, but that does not matter in the least; you are a CFF brother and we are all here to support you. Don't be shy about asking us to help in any way. No request is too small or too big.
 
On-going thoughts and prayers for you and your family. May you one day look back on this time with pride and joy.
