You guys rock!! You know, in the beginning I had to accept this disease because he was diagnosed at stage IV.

But I will not accept this. No. Not right now.

And Ed, well he said to me this morning as I held him and thanked him as I always do, "Marie, I will not let the cancer get the best of me, I am going out fighting for each breath." Knowing him I can tell you that his attitude shows that although I need to kick back and just provide options and smiles, he 'is' gearing up to kick cancer's butt. In the meantime, please keep kicking mine.

Dana Farber and MD Anderson please come through.>>Believe51
