About the announcement of John Cook’s cancer

The treating doctors diagnosed John with suffering from stage 4 colon cancer last October. John is under the care of the doctors at Cleveland Clinic’s Taussig Cancer Center. Tracy had put up an emotional post on her Facebook in December 2018.

The post read:

“October 11, 2018: We joined the fight no family wants to go through,” she wrote in this heartfelt Facebook message. “As I walked out of the Taussig Cancer Center with the love of my life, I closed my eyes, struggled to catch my breath and TIME STOOD STILL. I grabbed John’s hand and a wave of emotion nearly brought me to my knees. I couldn’t imagine life without him, our children without their Dad and precious time together as a family.”

“Doctors think John has had it for a long time. It was raging behind his rigorous lifestyle. Ju jitsu, grappling, sport performance. John was having back issues from time to time. Eventually, it reared its ugly head. No more quick recoveries. It was one punch in the gut after another as we went through all the scopes, scans and labs. I thought to myself, ‘It can’t be! He is still in his 40′s, fit and in the prime of his life.’ Stage 4 colon cancer. It’s an aggressive form that has spread throughout his body.”
