Welcome to my Blog. My name is Steven Talbott. I am a 38 year old sales consultant that up until 2 weeks ago was reasonably healthy individual.
Before I get into the chronology of my cancer fight, I will give you a little background on me.
I am married to a wonderful women, Kimberly Talbott, we have no kids, but 3 wonderful dogs. We live in Marengo, IL. Marengo is about 50 miles west of Chicago, IL. Kim is a special education administrator for a local school district west of us, and I co-own a business called Caveo Learning & Performance.
My extended family is fairly close to home.
Kim's parents, and her sisters, live in the area as well. We are blessed with more than a dozen nieces and nephews on her side of the family and enjoy spending time and spoiling the kids whenever possible.
Kim and I are pretty career committed individuals and enjoy our jobs and what we do. Our main hobbies include anything boating or water related and golf whenever we are able. We have been married for 10 years this last June and our life in general is very blessed and Happy.
The purpose of this blog is to give a chronological documentation of my fight with Brain Cancer. My goal is to fight this disease with positive attitude and humor. I will post as often as possible with updates on my progress and my fights. I am sure I will have some amazing challenges ahead, but am committed to going after this with all that I am. I welcome your comments and hope to feed off of the positive energy from this exercise. Ultimately in the future, I hope this blog will be able to inspire others to fight this disease and win! I am incredibly competitive, so I don't know how to give up or stop fighting! I will beat this disease and I welcome you along for the ride.

Steve, I have been following your Mom's blog and I feel like I know you. Please know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers. Positive thinking and less stress in you life is what you need to help you recover right now. Good luck the the battle that you have ahead of you. You will remain in my prayers. I will be back.
Steve, you have an extraordinary ability to see talents in people that they often don't see themselves, and then help them develop those talents. Many of the people who are cheering you on would not professionally be in the positions they are today (me included!) if not for your insight, foresight, and support. Now it's our turn to give back. Keep the faith!

Steven, I would have liked for you that the reason to start blogging would have been a different one. I only know your mum’s blog for about a week. I’m impressed by her story about you and I think you are able to help others with your blogposts. I’m sure your positive attitude will help you fight the cancer. You are in my thoughts, take care, love from Holland to you and your family.
Found you through your mom's blog and have been sending her messages saying that I'm keeping you all in thought. From what's she's posted...you sounds like quite a strong individual and I'm sure you will fight this all the way!!
Just think, you have your own virtual cheerleading (and quilting in many cases) team!! Go Steve!! Go Steve!!
I BELIEVE!
I am here with you every step of the way bro!
I can feel the power of positive thinking!

I'm here for ya! I love you and won't let your bald ass go without a fight!
Whatever you need and whenever you need it, just ask!

Steve,
You're in our thoughts and prayers and we'll be with you every step of the way. BTW, did you regrow somehair or is that a VERY old picture?
Steve, if there's one stubborn SOB who I know can beat this thing, it's you! You're building an outstanding support group here and don't you forget it!!! From New Jersey to Arizona; from Saudi Arabia to a very nice Nederlandse in Holland; from all of your immediate friends to those you don't even know, like my 9-year old niece who is including you in her "special intention" prayers in school everyday (I didn't tell you about that earlier 'cause I just found out, but it brought tears to my eyes). Whatever you need, whatever you want, all you have to do is ask. We are all here for you and we'll fight this thing together!! Peace out! (from Ava)
Steve, I remember clearly the day at New Horizons that I failed my first (and only) Microsoft exam. I remembering walking into your office feeling like I had been defeated, but when I walked out I felt like I could conquer the world. Your encouraging words gave me confidence that has stayed with me, and I haven't failed a single test since that day. You had such a positive effect on me and gave me the confidence to know that I would succeed with whatever challenge I was faced. Put simply, you believed in me. I see this positive and inspirational attitude being returned to you a hundred times over. You have a large circle of friends who are here to support you, walk with you during this journey, and believe in YOU. You are in my thoughts and prayers often.
