Gloria - I was SO HAPPY to read your post about the novel approach and great success you and John have had with this procedure. How wonderful it must feel for John to swallow after so much time has passed!

While there is very little good that comes from having cancer, we all hope that in some small way we are making it easier for others who might travel this path we are on. John is certainly doing that - with his persistence, he is contributing in a BIG way!

My very best to both of you,
Nancy
