He explained how that did it and it was fascinating! He had very good results with it.<br />I wish John well!<br /><br />Peggy,<br /><br />You have been battling cancer since you were six months old??? You are a miracle lady! When I go to MD Anderson for my check ups, it breaks my heart to see all the young ones, but strangely they seem to have the best attitudes! <br /> <br />I'm so glad I stumbled upon your blog!<br /><br />Elayne,<br /><br />Thank you. Part 2 is a little more difficult to read and even more so to write. I hope it provides inspiration.<br /><br />Nolly Posh,<br /><br />Very kind.

I don't have cancer but I am a caregiver for my significant other who is recovering from Large Diffuse B-cell Lymphoma. John recently underwent a stem cell transplant. We're hopeful the cancer is gone. We'll know for sure in about a month.<br /><br />God bless you as you fight the good fight!Joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08943128638748507880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534989275451072860.post-77931627314389593972009-10-28T10:50:34.052-07:002009-10-28T10:50:34.052-07:00Dr Swill;

He passed away in 2003 but left me with a greater appreciation of life, although I have to confess it took a while for me to see it that way. I watched his daily struggles with a sense of awe that he could face such suffering with grace and courage. Having a place like this to go to would have made life a bit easier for him. He would have known he wasn't alone in his fight.
