Keep Fighting

This fight isn't over. In fact, there's no end in sight.

I'm talking about cancer.

In my house, the struggle has come and gone. But there are still so many of you in the middle of it.

You must fight on. Keep pushing. Challenge your doctors.

Some of you have said you miss Leroy's words.

There's no more advice. No more suggestions. So do what he would do.

Ask, "What else have you got?"

If the big guy left any lessons behind, it was to ask questions and think outside the treatment box. Be a cancer pioneer.

A doctor called the other day from California to tell me he had been at a conference where he overheard a group of his colleagues actually talking about Leroy and his blog. Saying how he had changed the dialogue on cancer.

That means Leroy is still making a difference in cancer world.

And he needs his army to fight on.
