Dear friends,
I am humbled and so thankful for all of you. You have lifted my spirits and my resolve to kick this cancer in the ***. Liz, I will use my anger in a positive way--I have so much of it, as you know! And you are right that colon cancer is nothing like oral cancer. I do realize that my chances are much better than Ron's ended up being (and why does that make me feel guilty??). Thank you Christine, Geri, Lostpassword, Liz, Donna, David, Tommy and Julieann, and I will let you know how I'm doing.
Lori
