Tony Sagraves story...

Jake asked that we repost our updates - so here you go:

Well I have enjoyed reading all the updates. I know most people may not remember me- I didn't graduate from Corinth, but I went until my senior year. I still consider myself from Corinth.
I moved from Corinth my senior year. Graduated from Bolton High School in Arlington TN. After HS I went to Northeast Jr College and then Mississippi State Univ.
I am an Area Supervisor for Papa John's Pizza. I started as a driver when I was in college and just never left - 15 years later and here I am living in Bartlett TN and running a market of 13 stores.
I met my wife while in Starkville. We were married 7 years and have 3 amazing kids - Codi 8, Preston 6, & Abby Claire 5. Codi turned 8 Jan 18th- I still can not believe she is 8. My wife and I have been divorced for 2 years now - one of the hardest things I had ever been through. We still talk almost daily, but it is mostly about the kids- who we both love dearly and would do anything for.
Some of you know last July I found out I had an extremely rare form of bladder cancer. It was a complete surprise and very shocking. I had surgery to remove part of my bladder and went through 12 weeks of chemo. Well about 3 weeks ago at my 1st scan after chemo- I found out the cancer had spread to the lining on the outside of my stomach and to my ribcage. I immediately had my Dr call MD Anderson Cancer center in Houston and see if they would see me. Because the cancer I have is so rare they wanted to see me - I was down there the next day. Well long story short I am on a new chemo treatment - I go 5 days in a row for treatment then 2 weeks off- rinse - repeat. It has been tough- very tough. The main thing that keeps me going are my kids- I can not and will not let them down. For those of you that know me you know how hard headed I can be :) I refuse to loose.
I spend most of my time working or with my kids, BUT if any of you that live in Memphis ever want to catch lunch sometime gimme a call. I can be found in one of the stores almost daily or try 901-292-2234 - that's my cell.

Just remember enjoy everyday - kiss your kids - never ever give up...
