Danny I have felt compelled to help with the trials of other "C" people. Two months before my diagnosis another person at our church was diagnosed with lymphoma (probably spelled wrong). I didn't know of his problem untill he offered to help me when I was nearly a wreak with my diagnosis. He and I still remain vigilent in our support for each other and we both have sought to help several others. One of mine was a High school classmate that I heard had just recieved an Ovarian Cancer diagnosis. I called her out of the blue (we had not talked for 20+ years) we talked for a long time and I believe it was good for both of us. I would not have done that before my ordeal. I have since done that for several near strangers and we now continue to stay in touch.
Thanks to every one! it helps.
