The article is very interesting as he shares his experience, both the emotional and medical journey that we too are on here. Wondered if anyone else has read it. I will be looking for the book for my husband and I as he and his story sounds inspiring. [/quote]
Oprah had him on her show about 1 1/2 years ago. Very inspiring.
