Hi Jean and All,

I didn't get to see the show, so I read the story at the link. When I was sitting in the Dr.'s office the afternoon of my diagnosis waiting for my x-ray checking for lung involvement and I read an article about this man in a magazine. It was so inspiring and hopeful, but that was 2 years ago - I wondered how far it had gone since then!

Thanks for posting this!
