Default My Health

As many of you know I have been ill
I wanted to set the record straight for my friends and fellow hobbyists

I have lymphoma
It is Non Hodgkins Type B
I got it about a year ago
Quietly I went into chemo and quickly went into remission

Just as quietly it returned about 4 months ago
I have been having more aggressive chemo over the last few months
In a couple of weeks I go for the final step, a bone marrow transplant which will hopefully lick it for good

My attitude is good
My expectations are hopeful
Most of all I want to a thank you all for your support and kind words

Lelands has not missed a beat with me at diminished capacity
This year will be our best in over a decade (ironically)
Mike Heffner has had a banner year and is doing some of the biggest deals of his career
He has taken the step forward I always knew he could and would
Sharon and Laura have further filled the void with their loyalty, hard work and professionalism
I feel blessed

I work every day, I feel good
My mom has been taking very good care of me
I will be fine
If not, I will still be fine

All my best
Josh Evans

Josh, I had the same thing as you a year ago and beat it.
In fact I'll be seeing my encologist tomorrow for a periodic checkup.
You too can beat it again, there are over 12 million cancer survivors
I'll be praying for you to see better days ahead. All the best!

Thanks for sharing the information with us, Josh...you've been a pioneer in the modern sports memorabilia and I will always value the kindness you and your parents showed my father and I over the years. Please beat this thing and keep dazzling us with your discoveries and your passion. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family and associates.
