Thank you for your response, I have printed it to give
to my brother-in-law. Having just begun his
radiation, which is the only treatment he is able to
have, I am sure he is on a roller-coaster of thoughts
and emotions. His count I believe is a 13, he is 66,
and has now taken his retirement from construction.
Having had cancer myself, 15 years ago, I experienced
many ups and downs, and will do the best I can to make
sure he stays on the up side. Good luck to you, and
God keep you well. Hat
