Total Mass Confusion~
9 years ago
After being a firefighter/paramedic for over ten years, suddenly I became the patient. On October 22, 2007 was the day I was diagnosis with brain cancer (glioblastoma multiforme) and the prognosis was less than exciting. No longer was I seated on the fire engine to help all those that called 911, but now I was the one who needed the doctors help. On December 27, 2009 Eric passed away and I have taken over writing this blog. Thank you to those who follow and support Our Unknown Journey.

Hi Eric and Family
My name is Randy Martin and I am the president of the Central Coast Chapter of Firefighters for Christ.
I can think of no better scripture to share with you than this. It comes from Isaiah 40:29-31
He gives POWER to those who are tired and worn out; he offers strenght to the weak. Even youths will become exhausted, and young men will give up. But those who wait on the Lord WILL find new strength. They WILL fly high on wings like eagles. They WILL run and not grow weary. They WILL walk and not faint.
Eric,
Stay srong and keep the faith. Let the GREAT physician do what he does best. Let me know if there is anything that I can do for you or your family (besides praying which I am already doing)Take care my friend.
Lord Bless!

Eric you are such a strong soul.I went through only a fraction of what you have been through with cancer and I have to admit I was not nearly as positive as you. When it comes to facing challenges you are my hero.

Well I was so happy to hear you made it through this 5th ordeal. I can't say enough about how proud I am of you Eric and the strength you show every day. You are quite the hero and All Star in my book. In fact all of you out there can help with nominating Eric for the A&W 2008 All Star by going to

Every vote counts! Eric I know you are a humble man but don't be mad at me. I want to do this for you as you have committed a majority of your life helping others. It's time our Country recognizes you.
Take care and get well so we can go to Charolette.
I've read your blogs a few times and I was moved by your spirit. I had cancer as child and underwent treatment for about 6 years. Like the earlier comment states, I too went only thru a portion of what you are enduring and I am so glad you are doing better. Take care :)
