Thank You Leroy and Staff for the hope, unity and comfort that you give to all of us who need the support and comradie of sharing with you all. May we hope that the New Year might bring some kinds of advancements in fighting these horrible diseases that afflict us. Not just new designer drugs to try out on us, but some real answers to why and what causes some of us to be attacked by them and to find a true cure, not just more miserable treatments.
God Bless us everyone as we look forward to a Happier New Year together.

It's my second Christmas living with cancer. Like many of us, much of what I do involves trying to cope. Leroy and friends help me cope, and for this I thank you.

Friday's comments by Nancy O. and Tara were particularly touching. Thank you.
