I am the head basketball coach at Second Baptist.

I am also a cancer survivor.

The day I was diagnosed with cancer, I didn't believe it.

I didn't.

I just thought I had a common cold.

I just wasn't feeling well, you know, and I'm kind of sleepy, I'm tired.

I started having some slight headaches, and my wife says, you okay?

I said, why is that?

She goes, well, your breathing seems a little labored and you're kind of snoring while you're watching TV.

And I'm like, what?

Are you serious?

And I had no idea.

So she goes, we got to go see somebody.

They took, I had to come in and they put me to sleep and they reached in there and took a specimen basically, and that's when things changed.

My proton therapy, it saved my life.

Dr. Gunn, Dr. Hanna, Dr. Alton, those teams, I just felt I was going to be all right.

My case, I thought I was the, everything was about me.

I was educated as I was going through the process on the medicine, on how I was going to feel.

We had a certain little bond between us, and I felt that they were really sincere on how much they really, truly cared for me.

In coaching, you have to be very precise in who scores for the opponent, who does this for the opponent.

This is what they did in the last four or five games.

And I think that put me in a position where how can I prepare myself every day, no matter what happens, to be able to fight through whatever adversities I'm about to have.

I firmly believe that God gave me another chance to impact other people.

I want to thank the team from MD Anderson.
