Oh Gloria, rotten luck - it does seem Like whack-a-mole, doesn't it? I hope the rads give him some relief and maybe can be the catalyst for changing fortunes. You guys have had to adjust and adjust and I'm sorry for that, but clearly John hit the lottery when he found you. Stay strong and tell John to stay strong, too.

This stupid disease is so unfair, but you guys continue to fight and I really, genuinely take inspiration from that. I can't even tell you how amazed I am by your bravery and resilience.

I'll be thinking about you guys and rooting hard for you both!

The answer now is don't give in -- aim for a new tomorrow" - Judas Priest

My mutant power is remembering silly heavy metal lyrics - stay strong
