Quite the contrary, Gloria - John is still an inspiration - complications arise and I am sorry they touched you, but I have not given up at all. Though I am so sorry for your loss, I know you will always encourage us to keep fighting. I won't say I don't feel sorry for myself sometimes, but I know things are changing - I'm on the front line. Think of me as the next in the line - the next soldier in the fight.

someguyjeff, I know you will come to terms with your side effects - you have all of the right motivation. I also know what it is to be tired or scared or just plain depressed about it sometimes. I feel that way, too, but I can only encourage you to tighten your belt and keep fighting (which it sounds like you are doing smile )
