On the previous day when volleyball training began in January, Celebrity Hall coach Michael Bohli spoke to his players in Liola Hai to inform them of expectations for the next season.
He said: “One of the things we are talking about is cancer within the team and how there are times that cancer can really affect many things and cannot be treated and spread.” “We use this talk about his bad colleagues.”
The players had no idea what was about to get out of their coach’s mouth.
“Unfortunately, today, I am here to tell you that your coach has cancer.”
As if this was not horrific enough, then a warning came.
“You have to stay patient with me. I don’t know if I will miss practices or games or go for a month,” he said. “All I can ask you to do is an additional prayer for me. The coach is a fighter. That’s all I got. I see you tomorrow.”
Boehle grabbed the water bottle and put his head down. There was silence. When he finally looked, he saw players lining up in one file that presents a hug and told him: “We will win this battle together.”
Boehle, 58, discovered that he had prostate cancer after a physical test and routine blood last October, alerted his doctors to investigate more. Immediately before Christmas magnetic resonance imaging revealed a spot on the prostate. Then a biopsy came in January to confirm the diagnosis of cancer.
Since its early discovery, the diagnosis is good. The surgery is to be performed in July after Bohle has finished volleyball.
With the start of the qualifiers in the southern section on Wednesday, the Mission Legue-Campion window seeks to obtain their eighth title in the first section under Boehle, he agreed to discuss the feelings that he went through and encourage others to verify a disease that is second after skin cancer to influence men.
The next day he remembers his assertion of cancer to school, closed the door to his office and cries.
He said, “I was afraid until the death of the spread.” “I went to the rabbit hole and started searching for all different types of cancer.”
In February, he underwent an examination that used radioactive consequences to see if it had spread. He will never forget the day when his doctor boycotted his practice of a phone call to reveal the results.
“I am not supposed to know for about a week,” Boehle said. “He is my doctor. I have run out to the surface of the blessing.
“I felt very comfortable. This was the biggest news of my cancer diagnosis, and hearing it did not spread. That’s what you needed to hear. I was in a bad place. I needed to hear it.”
With the support of his family, players, friends and training colleagues, Bohle managed to move forward and accept the rule of his doctors that everything will be fine. He eats better and works to be in the best possible shape for his surgery.
He wants to make sure that others understand that although there is no cancer in his family, a routine blood test is necessary to help discover problems before they become worse.
“The support and love I got from the volleyball community was great,” he said. “My message was in great health. Just because you don’t have it in your family, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t test. Many people do not do physical. It is a real easy test.”
