If not by the grace of God and the Doctors and People who came forward to help me I would be in agony right now and beginning the end stages of this disease. I am very, very, blessed and lucky to say the least. And I pray every day for all of us afflicted with this horrible disease.

I was wondering about cost and price and I guestimated (without a clue) close to $300,000.00.
And my brother new of someone who fell off a roof and broke his back (paraplegic) and his bills WERE $300,000.00. Thank You Bill for "putting me in the ball park".

Bill's $168,000.00 would have paid for 4 years tuition at Harvard (pronounced: Haaaaaa-v-oooorrrrd) with a new cadilac thrown in for wheels.

$168,000.00 x 6 = 1 cruise missle. (aka smart bomb)

USA Presidential Campaign cost: $400,000,000.00 per candidate.
(Which would pay for 2,381 hospital bills of $168,000.00)

Have you ever heard the expression it cost an arm and a leg? Well I told a friend that I took my wife and 3 kids to Disney World and I came back with my "torso".

In retrospect: Disney World is not that expensive. I'm sure if William Dozier had his druthers he would have skipped the cancer and paid for all 4,375 OCF members a 1 day ticket to Disney World and maybe would have enough change to gas up his car.

Of course this is just Petey's opinion. You can PM or E-mail me anytime you feel the need for more worthless facts and meaningless comparisons. I quess it's just what some recovering cancer patients do...???

Attn: Davidcpa: To head off your upcoming questions I will nip this in the bud. 1. Yes, I am bored. 2. Yes, I have been double dipping my meds. 3. I'm doing it because I made a promise to God that I would make as many people smile as possible, everyday for the rest of my life. PS: You don't have to agree, just smile! smile

With Love, Prayers, and Best Wishes. Petey
