BIOGRAPHY I had rectal cancer and back pain that required surgery. From diagnosis through treatment to recovery and then back surgery, I believed I would be healed. Some say that I had a "miraculous healing and have radical hope." That story is what I wrote about in my book, Moving Forward: With, Through, and Past Cancer. My goal was to lead others to victory by inspiring them to hope. I give specific details on just how I accomplished that. Readers have also told me the telling of it is "very vulnerable."
