Dr. Eugene Decker, D.O. shared “My Story: A Faith Journey” on April 22 at his parish, St. Jane Frances de Chantal, Easton. Decker works as a family physician within St. Luke’s University Health Network, and as the medical director at DeSales University, Center Valley.

Decker spoke openly about his recent health crises and his ability to overcome them with trust in the Lord, to a full room at the parish center. He explained how he had tried to eat healthy and had been a runner for over 52 years. In fact, Decker kept a running streak alive for 35 years, 11 months, and 10 days. That was until May 10, 2023.

However, his story of health-related issues started 17 days earlier on April 23, 2023, during the St. Luke’s Half Marathon. “At the end of this race, I felt lightheaded and dizzy, which I attributed to being dehydrated. I had to immediately sit down and drink three bottles of water before my symptoms passed. I was sitting for such a long time that the race official came over to ask me if I was OK. There were signs of a bigger problem that I had missed.”

Decker went on to describe events over the next two and a half weeks. From feeling tired to issues with shortness of breath to spells of severe dizziness that would force him to lie down wherever he was, he said he had always found excuses or justifications for the way he was feeling.
