I join Margerie in wishing you lots of more cruises and years of victories. I know it must be so very hard to receive this news and have to go on offense once more to battle this horrible disease. I'll keep on praying for you and Ed and all the others who may get down, but always rise again to do another day's battle. May you receive the strength, wisdom, and courage to fight hard once more. Much love,
ma
