As I wait for my Doctors appointments on Tuesday & Wednesday I wanted to tell you what's been on my mind.
I have received much more from this website and it's members than I could ever repay. I have received so many emails and private messages from loving, caring members it has touched me deeply. How does one measure love? Believe me I can feel it coming from all over the world!!
Thank you!!
I wanted everyone to know that I am not giving up!!! I will try chemo if need be, also clinical trials might be an option. I plan on attending the reunion with my family. I will be there!!!!
Looking forward to meeting everyone.
Love Ya, Danny Boy

Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 64 | Seldom if ever have I seen such class and courage. My hat is off to you Mr. Bogan for your indefatigable spirit and encouragment to others when there is so much you could be complaining about in your present circumstance. I salute you and think you give new meaning to the expression "taking the high road". My very best wishes and I want you to know that you have been and continue to be in my prayers every day at Mass.

Look your doctor in the eye and ask everything you want and need to know. You'll be strong; you'll do fine.
