Wishing you all a safe and happy Christmas and a cancer free new year.
I was reading yesterday and I came across a little rhyme and I thought to myself that could have been penned by a cancer survivor
"Yesterday, upon the stairs
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish he goes away"
Hugs to all, Ron.

Re: O/T merry Christmas to all
Merry Christmas to Ron & everybody. I hope "science" brings a new drug, new off-label use of a drug, newer cutting edge something, scans, anything in 2018 & every year thereafter for our cancer patients. Wish it had the snowball effect for the positive.

Happy New Year

Re: O/T merry Christmas to all
Merry Christmas to all, especially everyone fighting. I was dx’d this year but all is well so far. Still, Christmas is a bit different. Great, but a little different. I guess I’m a little more grateful with the kids running around and all. I don’t know but I hope everyone has a joyous and peaceful holiday.
