Be Well! Fish On!
September 14, 2010
Terence is on the river today- he left this morning to partake in a flyfishing retreat for men battling all forms of cancer, called "Reel Recovery".
He has been a part of this group since he was diagnosed last year. Anyone who knows Terence, knows that he loves the outdoors; loves fishing, hunting and sharing the Lord.
The retreat covers fly fishing basics; 'couragous conversations' (fosters sharing of life stories for men) and post retreat communication, their hopes are that the men will form new and lasting friendships and gain renewed hope as they confront their battle with cancer.
For Terence, being out doors is healing to his soul, so he tries to continue to fish (since hunting would be a challenge right now), although he does have an invitation for a Wyoming hunt next October (with his long time friend Jim Sessions).
That is one of his next big goals: get healthy enough to make the hunt next year! Thanks to everyone who is helping us make it from one day to the next! Here's to Terence's next hunt, October 2011!

Terence Luttrell-was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer at 46 in July 2009:PSA 431 & Gleason score 9. The diagnosis was advanced stage of the disease; Prognosis:6-18 months to live & came as a complete shock. Terence passed away after fighting for 37 months as the sun rose on Sunday August 19,2012. Our family is learning how to pass through trying times, allowing it to challenge us in our faith growing in Christ & painstakingly learning how to live above the effects of cancer!
