 July is going to be hotter than ever because you get up to $50 off any smartphone at Appalachian Wireless to your agreement required. Better service? Bigger savings? That's today's Appalachian Wireless, an East Kentucky network company. It's no surprise when someone in the area is down the community comes together to pick them up and that holds true in Logan County as one of the boys in blue is battling cancer. In November 2016 27-year-old Cruz Johnson, who is a Logan County Sheriff's deputy, found out he had Hodgkin's lymphoma. Johnson said he was dealing with a head cold and felt a lump in his throat. At that point he didn't think anything about it. However, after the cold was gone and he had trouble swallowing water, he knew something was wrong. Finally got in with the doctor up at Beckley. We got in there, he checked it, actually sent me to an oral surgeon because they thought I hadn't had an abscess tooth. After talking with several doctors and undergoing different tests, he was diagnosed. And he said, sir I'm sorry, he says but it looks like you have cancer. After getting the mask surgically removed, another mask grew in its place, this one measuring 14 centimeters in diameter. This time Johnson started chemo. Because Johnson's white blood count was low, he also had to stop working. However, he said the support he felt from everyone was overwhelming. I'm a type of person. I give a hundred and twenty percent when I do something. When I come out here and I work for my community, for my state, for my county, I give it a hundred and twenty percent. And with the support that I've had, I got to up my game and go hundred and fifty percent now because these people have a button beyond for me and I could never never say how blessed and thankful I am. I mean, I could say or say that all day and it would not even compare to how I feel. Johnson's chemo treatments ended Monday. He will now begin radiation next month. He will also start working again July 30th. To follow Cruz Johnson's journey with Hodgkin's lymphoma, follow Team Cruz on Facebook. Reporting in Logan, I'm Shelby Still for EKB News.
