For Ted Kennedy, and all of you with cancer
I know it won't stay on the front page very long, but his fight has been my fight. They told him he may not make it to tonight, and they told me the same thing a year ago, but we're both here.

Cheers to my hero.

But she's in remission, now.

3. I would like to see more of our dollars devoted to cancer and other health research and away from
war. Let's end the neocon culture of death.

7. I'm hanging in there.
I'm happy to be here even though I found out yesterday that my cancer is progressing. I start a new chemo on Friday. It's been eight months since my diagnosis. One day at a time. :hug:

14. As Lance Armstrong says Live Strong. It sounds like you have a
good attitude.

It sounds like there is alot of cancer around. It seems with all the advances in technology cancer is something we should be able to defeat.

17. I'm still here and I'm still fighting.
The statistics for my cancer were NOT in my favor, but my Oncologist seems quit pleased with what my body has been doing. I visit him next week, and everything goes as planed, I'll get cut loose for another six months of freedom.

Oh, events that are unfolding tonight are doing wonders for my moral, and that's just what the doctor calls for.
