Battle with Lyme disease forces John Bruce to step down as head baseball coach at Cascade Christian
"Bruce said he successfully received treatment after discovering the
tick bite five years ago, but the dormant disease flared back up in 2010
and has increasingly affected his quality of life ever since. He took
off part of the 2011 baseball season when a spot for specialized
treatment opened up in California. He's spent half of his summers
undergoing hyperbaric oxygen treatment at a clinic in Ventura, Calif.,
and traveled to the Bay Area on three occasions for treatment at the
Stanford Medical Center."
