Dear Leroy,
I wish I could listen to the Talk but I'm halfway across the world from you.
I'm sure you'll do great, as always.
Take care.

Hi Leroy, I just found your blog. As someone who was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2001 I know what you mean when people ask you how you are and you dont know how to answer. I was surprized how many people were really concerned when I told them how I really was, and said they would pray for me. It helped me. The most helpful medicine is love and hope. Hang in there Leroy!

Thank you Leroy for your continued support in HOLDING THE FRONT for us. I will be listening. Soon I will do my special no salt, no dairy, no iron diet etc. for labs and tests to determine if I am spooked again with busy cancer beings. My words express humor, however on a serious note my mind, body and soul always steep with serious personal concerns. I think thats just the way it is, cause we are human with a spirit reaching out from under the cover of a quiet empty place for direction to serve those that need to hear our words, see our faces, and embrace our space.
We are still here for you. Thank you for daily tending to us.
Mattie,

I would have never thought I would be writing this but: Sorry Leroy, I got a better offer ;-)

Will be thinking of you when taking our guests to Sesame Street Place water park today, near Philly.

I promise to savor every moment of the broadcast tonight when the guests and my kids are sleeping soundly in their beds and I can listen to every word in peace and quiet.

Hey Leroy

I am looking forward to hearing your broadcase today. I have been reading your blogs every day for about a year now. My prayers are for your comfort and recovery. I have been cancer "free" for 3 years now and treasure every moment of it. Never know when the evil disease might come back in some other form.

Thank you for your daily blogs and for being you.

I listened to your eloquent broadcast today. I can only speak as a support person. thank you for your courage-even if you don't think you have it in you. What I have learned from my caring for my sister and others is that breathing takes courage. Acknowledgement of your coping with cancer world takes courage. And, allowing other to be part of that takes courage. That is only part of what makes you a hero.
