Danny Boy -- you're an amazing dude... I, too, am praying that those tumors will disappear into nothingness...

I think the word "terminal" should be eliminated from a doctor's vocab with regards to cancer. Tell me how serious things are yes, but don't pronounce me on the way to death. That rules out miracles and I'm sure for some causes them to give up the fight. Then terminal becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy...
